A right eigenvector; a nonzero vector x such that, for a particular matrix A, A x = \lambda x for some scalar \lambda which is its eigenvalue and an eigenvalue of the matrix
the direction of a principal component represented as coefficients in an eigenvector matrix which is computed from the eigenvalues See also principal components
A right eigenvector; a nonzero vector x such that, for a particular matrix A, A x = lambda x for some scalar lambda which is its eigenvalue and an eigenvalue of the matrix
of a matrix: An eigenvector of a square matrix A is a nonzero vector x such that Ax = cx holds for some scalar c See also: eigenvalue ON p399; Str S6 1; AR7 p355
An eigenvector v of a square matrix M has the property that multiplying M by it yields another vector which is parallel to v That is, vM = lambda v where lambda is a (possibly) complex number known as the eigenvalue of v
