We can calculate the predicted market share after 1 month, s 1 , by multiplying P and the current share matrix:. Next, we can calculate the predicted market share after the second month, s 2 , by squaring the transition matrix which means applying it twice and multiplying it by s 0 :. Continuing in this fashion, we see that after a period of time, the market share of the three companies settles down to around Here's a table with selected values.
This type of process involving repeated multiplication of a matrix is called a Markov Process , after the 19th century Russian mathematician Andrey Markov. Next, we'll see how to find these terminating values without the bother of multiplying matrices over and over. First, we need to consider the conditions under which we'll have a steady state. If there is no change of value from one month to the next, then the eigenvalue should have value 1. It means multiplying by matrix P N no longer makes any difference.
We need to make use of the transpose of matrix P , that is P T , for this solution. If we use P , we get trivial solutions since each row of P adds to 1. The eigenvectors of the transpose are the same as those for the original matrix. We now normalize these 3 values, by adding them up, dividing each one by the total and multiplying by We obtain:.
This value represents the "limiting value" of each row of the matrix P as we multiply it by itself over and over. More importantly, it gives us the final market share of the 3 companies A, B and C. We can see these are the values for the market share are converging to in the above table and graph.
For interest, here is the result of multiplying matrix P by itself 40 times. We see each row is the same as we obtained by the procedure involving the transpose above.

A note on the eigenvectors of 2 by 2 matrices. The eigenvector is any multiple of. There is a whole line of eigenvectors—any nonzero multiple of x is as good as x.
We end with a warning. Some 2 by 2 matrices have only one line of eigenvectors. This can only happen when two eigenvalues are equal. On the other hand A D I has equal eigenvalues and plenty of eigenvectors.
Good News, Bad News Bad news first: If you add a row of A to another row, or exchange rows, the eigenvalues usually change. The triangular U has its eigenvalues sitting along the diagonal—they are the pivots. But they are not the eigenvalues of A! For this A, the product is 0 times 7. The sum of eigenvalues is 0 C 7. These quick checks always work: The product of the n eigenvalues equals the determinant. The sum of the n eigenvalues equals the sum of the n diagonal entries.
They are proved in Problems 16—17 and again in the next section. But when the computation is wrong, they generally tell us so. Why do the eigenvalues of a triangular matrix lie on its diagonal? Imaginary Eigenvalues One more bit of news not too terrible. The eigenvalues might not be real numbers. Product D determinant D 1. After a rotation, no vector Qx stays in the same direction as x except x D 0 which is useless.
There cannot be an eigenvector, unless we go to imaginary numbers. Which we do. This example makes the all-important point that real matrices can easily have complex eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors A symmetric matrix. A skew-symmetric matrix. An orthogonal matrix. For the eigenvalues those are more than analogies—they are theorems to be proved in Section The eigenvectors for all these special matrices are perpendicular.
It starts with the unit vector x D. The mouse makes this vector move around the unit circle. At the same time the screen shows Ax, in color and also moving. Possibly Ax is ahead of x.
Possibly Ax is behind x. Sometimes Ax is parallel to x. The built-in choices for A illustrate three possibilities: 0; 1, or 2 directions where Ax crosses x. There are no real eigenvectors. Ax stays behind or ahead of x. This means the eigenvalues and eigenvectors are complex, as they are for the rotation Q. There is only one line of eigenvectors unusual. This happens for the last 2 by 2 matrix below.
There are eigenvectors in two independent directions. This is typical! Ax crosses x at the first eigenvector x 1 , and it crosses back at the second eigenvector x 2. You can mentally follow x and Ax for these five matrices. Under the matrices I will count their real eigenvectors. Next, we'll see how to find these terminating values without the bother of multiplying matrices over and over. First, we need to consider the conditions under which we'll have a steady state.
If there is no change of value from one month to the next, then the eigenvalue should have value 1. It means multiplying by matrix P N no longer makes any difference.

Inverse of a Matrix using Gauss-Jordan Elimination 6. Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors 8. Applications of Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors. They are used to solve differential equations, harmonics problems, population models, etc. In Chemical Engineering they are mostly used to solve differential equations and to analyze the stability of a system. Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues are best explained using an example.
Take a look at the picture below. In the left picture, two vectors were drawn on the Mona Lisa. Tanvir Prince 1 , , Nieves Angulo 1. Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors are usually taught toward the middle of the semester and this modulo can be implemented right after the topics of diagonalization.
Comparing to the other modulo, students will see applications of some advance topics. This also shows one quick application of eigenvalues and eigenvectors in environmental science.
DOI: Connecting theory and application is a challenging but important problem. This is important for all students, but particularly important for students majoring in STEM education. Figure 6. The Best Kept Secret of Engineering.
It computes the eigenvalues and eigenvectors for a number of examples using polynomial root finding and Gaussian elimination with a homogeneous system. Using Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors engineers can prevent disasters like the Tacoma bridge. Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors: Practice Problems. Well, let's start by doing the following matrix multiplication problem where we're multiplying a square matrix by a vector.
