How many eigenvalues are there in a matrix?
Equivalent to the roots of the matrix’â„¢s characteristic polynomial.
The number of eigenvalues of a matrix M can be computed using the formula M??I)v =?0 v, where l is the identity matrix, ? is equal to the number of eigenvalues of the matrix, and v is its corresponding eigenvector. One has to expand the equation into characteristic polynomials of ?, and then get the roots of the characteristic polynomial.
