The quantum mechanical expression relating two commuting operators is reformulated such that the power method (also called method of moments) for iteratively calculating eigenvalues and eigenvectors ...

The well-known error estimates for the numerical computation of eigenvalues of symmetric integral equations are extended to the computation of the eigenvectors. The ...

When getting started with linear algebra, eigenvectors and eigenvalues remain shrouded in mystique for the uninitiated. While their behaviors govern the inner workings of matrix transformations, ...

Correction: The original version of this article incorrectly stated that eigenvalues are the magnitudes of eigenvectors. In fact, eigenvalues are scalars that are multiplied with eigenvectors. This ...
