eigenvector

名词 n.

英文释义

名词 n.
  1. A vector that is only scaled (not rotated out of its span) under a particular linear transformation; a left or right eigenvector depending on context; (more formally) given a linear transformation A, a vector x such that Ax=λx [or xA=λx] for some scalar λ (called the eigenvalue).
    — Both equations give the relation x₁ = −x₂. Therefore the set of eigenvectors corresponding to λ = 2 is given by: […] An eigenvector corresponding to λ₁ = 2 is ( −1 1 ).
  2. A right eigenvector; given a matrix A, the eigenvector of the transformation "left-side multiplication by A."

词源

From eigen- + vector, a partial calque of German Eigenvektor.
The prefix eigen- (also used in eigenvalue) was first used in 1904, by David Hilbert, and was possibly inspired by a related usage by Hermann von Helmholtz.
