WHAT DOES EIGENVECTOR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Eigenvalues and eigenvectors

An eigenvector of a square matrix is a non-zero vector that, when the matrix multiplies, yields a constant multiple of, the latter multiplier being commonly denoted by. That is: The number is called the eigenvalue of corresponding to. If 2D space is visualized as a piece of cloth being stretched by the matrix, the eigenvectors would make up the line along the direction the cloth is stretched in and the line of cloth at the center of the stretching, whose direction isn't changed by the stretching either. The eigenvalues for the first line would give the scale to which the cloth is stretched, and for the second line the scale to which it's tightened. A reflection may be viewed as stretching a line to scale -1 while shrinking the axis of reflection to scale 1. For 3D rotations, the eigenvectors form the axis of rotation, and since the scale of the axis is unchanged by the rotation, their eigenvalues are all 1. In analytic geometry, for example, a three-coordinate vector may be seen as an arrow in three-dimensional space starting at the origin.

Definition of eigenvector in the English dictionary

The definition of eigenvector in the dictionary is a vector x satisfying an equation A x = λ x, where A is a square matrix and λ is a constant.
