ocw.mit.edu › courses › mathematicsComplex Eigenvalues 1. Complex Eigenvalues In the previous note, we obtained the solutions to a homogeneous linear system with constant coefficients . x = A x under the assumption that the roots of its characteristic equation |A − λI| = 0, — i.e., the eigenvalues of A — were real and distinct. In this section we consider what to do if ...
Phase portraits and eigenvectors. x x, y
https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-03-differential-equations...phase portrait is a saddle (which is always unstable). If 0 < D < T 2/4, the eigenvalues are real, distinct, and of the same sign, and the phase portrait is a node, stable if T < 0, unstable if T > 0. If 0 < T 2/4 < D, the eigenvalues are neither real nor purely imaginary, and the phase portrait is a spiral, stable if T < 0, unstable if T > 0.

However, the eigenvectors corresponding to the conjugate eigenvalues are themselves complex conjugate and the calculations involve working in complex n-dimensional space.

We will do so in Section 3.6. Subsection 3.4.4 Important Lessons ¶ If

In this section we will look at solutions to. →x ′ = A→x x → ′ = A x →. where the eigenvalues of the matrix A A are complex. With complex eigenvalues we are going to have the same problem that we had back when we were looking at second order differential equations. We want our solutions to only ...
