Eigenvalue

In linear algebra, an eigenvector of a linear map refers to a non-zero vector such that applying to this vector does not change the direction of the vector. In other words, for some scalar constant . Here, is known as the eigenvalue. The eigenspace of an eigenvalue refers to the set of all eigenvectors that correspond with that eigenvalue, and is a vector space.
