VoseEigenVectors({matrix})

Example model

Array function that calculates the eigenvectors of a matrix. Eigenvectors and eigenvalues are concepts used frequently in matrix algebra.

• {matrix} - an n x n matrix

A matrix [M] is said to be associated with a set of eigenvectors [V] and eigenvalues l, if:

[M][V] = l [V]

If we look at it in one dimension, a vector is an eigenvector of a matrix if multiplying it by the matrix results in a constant (the eigenvalue) times the original vector.
