Let $u = (1, 2, 3)$ and $v = (1, frac12,frac13)$ · Let $A= u^tv.$ Find $A^n , n ge 1$



My attempts :$ A = u^tv$ = $beginbmatrix 1 \ 2 \ 3 endbmatrix[ 1 frac12 frac13 ]$.



$A = beginbmatrix 1 &1& frac23 \ 2& 1& frac23\3& frac32 & 1 endbmatrix$.



i don't know How to find $A^n $?

            Always difficult to say exactly where an idea comes from.... Diagonlization...This is a standard bit of logic. $A = PDP^-1, A^2 = PDP^-1PDP^-1 = PD^2P^-1$ by induction $A^n = PD^nP^-1.$ With that in the back of my mind, it seemed that it was unnecessary to go to the step of actually diagonlizing, and proceed to $AA$ and see what simplified.

          The value for $A=u^tv$ you got is not correct.



          The correct value is
          $$A=u^tv=beginbmatrix 1 \ 2 \ 3 endbmatrixbeginbmatrix 1 & dfrac 1 2 & dfrac 1 3 endbmatrix=beginbmatrix 1 & dfrac 1 2 & dfrac 1 3 \ 2 & 1 & dfrac 2 3 \ 3 & dfrac 3 2 & 1 endbmatrix$$



          Now you could use diagonalization.



          Let $A$ be a matrix then if you diagonalize $A$ then you get $A=PDP^-1$ with $B$ as a diagonal matrix and $P^-1$ an invertible matrix. If you try for $A^2$, then it is equal to $A^2=PD^2P^-1$. Similarly for $A^n=PD^nP^-1$



          $1.$Find the characteristic polynomial $p(t)$ of $A$.



          $2.$Find eigenvalues $λ$ of the matrix $A$ and their algebraic multiplicities from the characteristic polynomial $p(t)$.



          $3.$For each eigenvalue $λ$ of $A$, find a basis of the eigenspace $E_λ$.
          If there is an eigenvalue $λ$ such that the geometric multiplicity of $λ$, dim$(E_λ)$, is less than the algebraic multiplicity of $λ$, then the matrix $A$ is not diagonalizable. If not, $A$ is diagonalizable, and proceed to the next step.



          $4.$If we combine all basis vectors for all eigenspaces, we obtained n linearly independent eigenvectors $v1,v2,…,vn$.



          $5.$Define the nonsingular matrix $P=[v_1v_2…v_n]$.



          $6.$Define the diagonal matrix $D$, whose $(i,i)$-entry is the eigenvalue λ such that the $i^th$ column vector $v_i$ is in the eigenspace $E_λ$



          $7.$Then the matrix $A$ is diagonalized as $P^-1AP=D$

          The value for $A=u^tv$ you got is not correct.



          The correct value is
          $$A=u^tv=beginbmatrix 1 \ 2 \ 3 endbmatrixbeginbmatrix 1 & dfrac 1 2 & dfrac 1 3 endbmatrix=beginbmatrix 1 & dfrac 1 2 & dfrac 1 3 \ 2 & 1 & dfrac 2 3 \ 3 & dfrac 3 2 & 1 endbmatrix$$



          Now you could use diagonalization.



          Let $A$ be a matrix then if you diagonalize $A$ then you get $A=PDP^-1$ with $B$ as a diagonal matrix and $P^-1$ an invertible matrix. If you try for $A^2$, then it is equal to $A^2=PD^2P^-1$. Similarly for $A^n=PD^nP^-1$



          $1.$Find the characteristic polynomial $p(t)$ of $A$.



          $2.$Find eigenvalues $λ$ of the matrix $A$ and their algebraic multiplicities from the characteristic polynomial $p(t)$.

          • The matrix $A$ has rank 1, so two of the eigenvalues are automatically equal to 0. The other eigenvalue turns out to be 3.
