Let
1
-4
4
A =
-6 5
-5
4.
The characteristic polynomial of A is CA(^) =
-(A + 1)² (A – 1), so –1 is an eigenvalue with algebraic multiplicity
and 1 is an eigenvalue with
algebraic multiplicity
Without further calculations, we may determine from the inequalities 1 < geo(A) < alg(A) that the geometric multiplicity of 1
is
For the other eigenvalue, –1, all that the inequalities tell us is that 1 < geo(-1) <
However, after some row operations, we find that the
matrix A + I has rank 2, so the dimension of its null space is
showing that the geometric multiplicity of –1 is
By computing reduced row-echelon forms, we find that the eigenspace associated to 1 is spanned by
1
and the eigenspace associated to -1 is spanned by
1|.
This example illustrates the following important case of the theorem above.
Important special case: If the algebraic multiplicity of an eigenvalue A is 1, so alg(A) = 1, then the inequality in the theorem above reduces to
1< geo(A) < 1. This can only be true when geo(A) = 1.
