QuestionThere are ten problems. Solve all problems. You may use the eigenvalues and the linearly independent eigenvectors which you found in Homework 8 to solve the problems in this assignment. However, you must show all supporting work (except for the work to find the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors).
Let α0\alpha \neq 0 and β0\beta \neq 0 be real nonzero constants. Define the following real symmetric matrices (3) A3=(αββββαββββαββββα)A_{3}=\left(\begin{array}{cccc} \alpha & -\beta & -\beta & -\beta \\ -\beta & \alpha & -\beta & -\beta \\ -\beta & -\beta & \alpha & -\beta \\ -\beta & -\beta & -\beta & \alpha \end{array}\right)
The computations show that there are two cipenyalues λ1=αβρ2λ2=α+β\lambda_{1}=\alpha-\beta \rho_{2} \quad \lambda_{2}=\alpha+\beta
Moreover, the bases of the eigenspaces are given by, respectively B1={(1111)} for the eigenvalue λ1=α3β,B2={(1111),(1111),(1111)}, for the eigenvalue λ2a+B\begin{array}{l} \mathcal{B}_{1}=\left\{\left(\begin{array}{l} 1 \\ 1 \\ 1 \\ 1 \end{array}\right)\right\} \text { for the eigenvalue } \lambda_{1}=\alpha-3 \beta, \\ \mathcal{B}_{2}=\left\{\left(\begin{array}{c} 1 \\ 1 \\ -1 \\ -1 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{c} 1 \\ -1 \\ -1 \\ 1 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{c} 1 \\ -1 \\ 1 \\ -1 \end{array}\right)\right\} \text {, for the eigenvalue } \lambda_{2}-a+B \end{array}
Solve the following first order homogeneous systems of differential equations (3) ddtu=A3u\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d} t} \mathbf{u}=A_{3} \mathbf{u}

Studdy Solution
Solve the differential equation using the general solution.
The solution to the system ddtu=A3u\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d} t} \mathbf{u} = A_3 \mathbf{u} is given by:
u(t)=c1e(α3β)t(1111)+c2e(α+β)t(1111)+c3e(α+β)t(1111)+c4e(α+β)t(1111) \mathbf{u}(t) = c_1 e^{(\alpha - 3\beta) t} \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ 1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} + c_2 e^{(\alpha + \beta) t} \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ -1 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix} + c_3 e^{(\alpha + \beta) t} \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -1 \\ -1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} + c_4 e^{(\alpha + \beta) t} \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -1 \\ 1 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}
The solution to the system of differential equations is expressed in terms of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix A3 A_3 .
