Core Mathematical Concepts: Theorems, Matrices, and Vector Fields

The Cayley-Hamilton Theorem

Let $A$ be an $n \times n$ matrix, and let $P_A(\lambda)$ be its characteristic polynomial. The characteristic polynomial is defined as:

$$P_A(\lambda) = \det(\lambda I – A)$$

Expanding this determinant, we can write it as a polynomial in $\lambda$:

$$P_A(\lambda) = a_n \lambda^n + a_{n-1} \lambda^{n-1} + \cdots + a_1 \lambda + a_0$$

The Cayley-Hamilton Theorem states that every square matrix $A$ satisfies its own characteristic equation. This means that if we substitute the
