1. Determine the set of all 3 × 3, 4 × 4, 5 × 5 matrices having the minimal polynomial (λ − 3)2 (λ − 2).

2. Let V be a finite dimensional complex inner product space, and T : V → V is a linear operator.

(a) Give a simple argument to say that ⟨T v, w⟩ = 0, ∀v, w ∈ V , then T is the zero operator.
(b) Show that
1
⟨T v, w⟩ = (⟨T (v + w), v + w⟩ − ⟨T (v − w), v − w⟩ + i⟨T (v + iw), v + iw⟩ − i⟨T (v − iw), v − iw⟩) .
4

(c) From above or otherwise, deduce that ⟨T (v), v⟩ = 0 ∀v ∈ V then T is the zero operator.
(d) If V = R2 as a real inner product space, then show that there exists non-zero linear operator
T such that ⟨T (v), v⟩ = 0, ∀v ∈ V . (Hint: can a linear transformation make two vectors
orthogonal?)
(e) T is a normal operator if T ∗ T = T T ∗ . Show that if T is normal, then ||T ∗ v|| = ||T v||, ∀v ∈
V.
(f) If ||T ∗ v|| = ||T v|| ∀v ∈ V, then show that ⟨T ∗ T − T T ∗ (v), v⟩ = 0, ∀v ∈ V.
(g) From above or otherwise, deduce that T is normal if and only if ||T ∗ v|| = ||T v||, ∀v ∈ V.

3. Let A be a 3 × 3 matrix with χA (x) = (x − λ)3 = mA (x). Show that A is similar to B, where
 
λ 1 0
B = 0 λ 1 .
0 0 λ

4. Let A be a n × n matrix such that χA (x) = (x − λ1 )α1 (x − λ2 )α2 · · · (x − λk )αk and mA (x) = (x −
λ1 )β1 (x − β2 )α2 · · · (x − λk )βk , and let GES(λi ) = N ull((A − λi )αi ) be the generalised eigenspace.
Show that
V = GES(λ1 ) ⊕ GES(λ2 ) ⊕ · · · ⊕ GES(λk ).

5. Find the rank and nullity of the matrix A where the characteristic polynomial is given by:

(a) χA (λ) = λ5 + 5λ3 + 81λ2


(b) χA (λ) = λ3 − 4λ2 + 3λ
(c) χA (λ) = λ4 − 2λ3 − 5λ2
(d) χA (λ) = λ5 − 3λ4 + 2λ3
(e) χA (λ) = λ6 + 6λ5 − 7λ4

6. For the given matrices, compute their characteristic polynomials, minimal polynomials, eigenvalues
and eigenvectors, the algebraic and geometric multiplicity of the eigenvalue, and conclude which
matrices are diagonalisable.
