But X2= −I so thatA2= U(−I )U−1= −I .A2=0 −1 0 01 0 0 01 0 0 −10 1 1 02=−1 0 0 00 −1 0 00 −2 −1 02 0 0 −1.Since A26= −I , the matrix A is not diag onalizable in C4.Problem Consider a l inear operator L : R3→ R3defined by L(v) = v0× v, wherev0= (3/5, 0, −4/5).(a) Find the matrix B of the operator L.(b) Find the image and null-space of L.(c) Find the eigenvalues of L.(d) Find the matrix of the operator L311(L applied311 times).L(v) = v0× v, v0= (3/5, 0, −4/5).Let v = (x, y, z) = xe1+ ye2+ ze3. ThenL(v) = v0× v =e1e2e33/5 0 −4/5x y z=45ye1−45x +35ze2+35ye3.In particular, L(e1) = −45e2, L(e2) =45e1+35e3,L(e3) = −35e2.Therefore B =0 4/5 0−4/5 0 −3/50 3/5 0.B =0 4/5 0−4/5 0 −3/50 3/5 0.The image of the operator L is spanned by columnsof the matrix B. It fol lows that Im L is the planespanned by v1= (0, 1, 0 ) and v2= (4, 0, 3 ).The null-space of L is the solution set for theequation Bx = 0.0 4/5 0−4/5 0 −3/50 3/5 0→1 0 3/40 1 00 0 0=⇒ x +34z = y = 0 =⇒ x = t(−3 /4, 0, 1).Alternatively, the null-space of L is the set ofvectors v ∈ R3such that L(v) = v0× v = 0.It follows that Null L is the line spanned byv0= (3/5, 0, −4/5).Characteristic polynomial of the matrix B:det(B − λI ) =−λ 4/5 0−4/5 −λ −3/50 3/5 −λ= −λ3−(3/5)2λ−(4/5)2λ = −λ3−λ = −λ(λ2+1).The eigenvalues are 0, i, and −i.The matrix of the operator L311is B311.Since the matrix B has eigenvalues 0, i, and −i, it isdiagonali zable in C3. Namely, B = UDU−1, whereU is an invertible matrix with complex entries andD =0 0 00 i 00 0 −i.Then B311= UD311U−1. We have that D311== diag0, i311, ( −i )311= diag(0, −i , i ) = −D.HenceB311= U(−D)U−1= −B =0 −4/5 04/5 0 3/50 −3/5
