geometric multiplicity
Line 6: Line 6:  
for some non-zero vector <math>\boldsymbol{x}\in\mathbb{R}^n</math> known as a [[eigenvector]]. The eigenvalue is the zero of a matrix's [[charateristic polynomial]], the degree of the corresponding root is called the '''algebraic multiplicity''' of the eigenvalue.
