eigenvalue

eigenvalue
noun /ˈaɪɡənˌvæljuː/
The change in magnitude of a vector that does not change in direction under a given linear transformation; a scalar factor by which an eigenvector is multiplied under such a transformation.

The eigenvalues of a transformation matrix may be found by solving .

Syn: characteristic root, characteristic value, eigenroot, latent value
See Also: eigen decomposition, eigenfunction, eigenvector
