finding the dimension of eigenspace with characteristic and minimal polynomial












0












$begingroup$


I have a problem in understanding how author find the dimension of eigenspace of 3 and 1 in following example.
How can I calculate it?



For example, suppose you're given a $ 6 times 6 $
matrix and you calculate that its characteristic polynomial is $(t-3)^4(t-i)^2$, that
its minimal polynomial is $(t-3)^2 (t-i)^2$, that the 3-eigenspace is 3-dimensional,
and that the i-eigenspace is 1-dimensional.



Thanks for your help

          Let us take for example the eigenvalue $;lambda=3;$: that the exponent of its linear factor in the minimal polynomial is two means that two is the largest block in the Jordan Block (=JB) corresponding to $;3;$, which means that the JB, which clearly has size $;4times4;$ , has exactly three blocks: one of size two, two of size one. Something like the following, with the different colors marking the different block in $;JB_3;$ :



          $$JB_{lambda=3}=begin{pmatrix}
          color{red}3&color{red}1&0&0\
          color{red}0&color{red}3&0&0\
          0&0&color{green}3&0\
          0&0&0&color{blue}3end{pmatrix}$$



          Since the number of blocks in $;JB_lambda;$ gives us $;dim V_lambda;$ ,we're done.

            @RabMakh You're completely correct, but in this case we're given that $;dim V_3=3;$ , so there can't be only two blocks but three.

          That implies its Jordan normal form is:



          $begin{pmatrix}3&1&0&0&0&0\

          • $begingroup$
            Because the dimension of the eigenspace is 3, there must be three Jordan blocks, each one containing one entry corresponding to an eigenvector, because of the exponent 2 in the minimal polynomial the first block is 2*2, the remaining blocks must be 1*1

          $begingroup$

          The Jordan form of your matrix must be of the type$$begin{pmatrix}3&*&0&0&0&0\0&3&*&0&0&0\0&0&3&*&0&0\0&0&0&3&0&0\0&0&0&0&i&*\0&0&0&0&0&iend{pmatrix},$$where each $*$ is either $0$ or $1$. But if, for instance, the $*$ from the fifth row is equal to $0$, then the exponent of $t-i$ in the minimal polynomial of the matrix must be $1$. Since it is $2$, that $*$ must be equal to $1$. Now, see what the other three $*$ must be so that the exponent of $t-3$ in the minimal polynomial of the matrix is $2$.

            @RabMakh You're completely correct, but in this case we're given that $;dim V_3=3;$ , so there can't be only two blocks but three.

            The Jordan form of your matrix must be of the type$$begin{pmatrix}3&*&0&0&0&0\0&3&*&0&0&0\0&0&3&*&0&0\0&0&0&3&0&0\0&0&0&0&i&*\0&0&0&0&0&iend{pmatrix},$$where each $*$ is either $0$ or $1$. But if, for instance, the $*$ from the fifth row is equal to $0$, then the exponent of $t-i$ in the minimal polynomial of the matrix must be $1$. Since it is $2$, that $*$ must be equal to $1$. Now, see what the other three $*$ must be so that the exponent of $t-3$ in the minimal polynomial of the matrix is $2$.
