EIGENVALUE OF A MATRIX BY JACOBI METHOD FOR SYMMETRIC MATRIX

Let A be a given real symmetric matrix. Its eigenvalues are real and there exists a real orthogonal matrix B such that B-1AB is a diagonal matrix D.

Jacobi's method consists of diagonalising A by applying a series of orthogonal transformations B1, B2, …, Br such that their product B satisfies the equation D = B-1AB

Rotation matrix

If P(x, y) is any point in the xy plane nie ( P(x,y) and if OP is rotated (O is the origin) in the clockwise direction through an angle θ, then the new position of P (x', y') is given by

x' = x cos θ - y sin θ;

y' = x sin θ + y cos θ


Hence P is called a Rotation matrix in the xy plane.

Here P is also an orthogonal matrix, since PPT = I.

Eigenvalues of 2 × 2 matrix by Jacobi method


Step 1. Assume the most general orthogonal Rotation matrix of order 2 is


Step 2. To make B as a diagonal matrix.

Therefore, select so that b12 = b21 = 0


Step 4. Get D = PTAP

The diagonal elements of D are the eigenvalues. The columns of P are the corresponding Eigenvectors.

Extension to Higher order Symmetric Matrices

Suppose we want to reduce the off-diagonal numerically largest element aij in (aij) n × n matrix into zero.

First we select the Rotation matrix S1 where


D1 is a n × n matrix whose diagonal elements are 1 and all off-diagonal elements are zero except aii = cos θ, aij = cos θ, aij = - sin θ, aji = sin θ,


Now D1 is orthogonal.

Find out B1 = DT1AD1 reducing bij (aij) into zero in B1.

In the next step, take the largest off-diagonal element bkt  in BT1 and reduce into zero to get

B2 = DT2B1D2

Performing series of such rotation by D1, D2, D3, , ... after k operations, we get


If Bk is diagonal matrix, we get immediately Eigenvalues of Bk and hence

of A. The Eigenvectors of A are the columns of the matrix D = D1 D2 ..Dk
