Outline Orthogonal Matrices Reference: Chapter 7.5 Symmetric Matrices Reference: Chapter 7.6
Norm-preserving A linear operator is norm-preserving if ? ? = ? For all u Example: linear operator T on R2that rotates a vector by . Is T norm-preserving? ? =1 0 Example: linear operator T is refection Is T norm-preserving? 0 1
Norm-preserving A linear operator is norm-preserving if ? ? = ? For all u Example: linear operator T is projection Is T norm-preserving? ? =1 0 0 0 Example: linear operator U on Rnthat has an eigenvalue 1. U is not norm-preserving, since for the corresponding eigenvector v, U(v) = v = v v .
Orthogonal Matrix An nxn matrix Q is called an orthogonal matrix (or simply orthogonal) if the columns of Q form an orthonormal basis for Rn Orthogonal operator: standard matrix is an orthogonal matrix. unit unit is an orthogonal matrix. orthogonal

(An easier) Question: Is T orthogonal if L is the x-axis? b1is a unit vector along L. b2is a unit vector perpendicular to L. P = [ b1b2] is an orthogonal matrix. B = {b1, b2} is an orthonormal basis of R2. [T]B= diag[1 1] is an orthogonal matrix. Let the standard matrix of T be Q. Then [T]B= P 1QP, or Q = P[T]BP 1 Q is an orthogonal matrix.
