Determinant as Eigenvalue Product

Relates a square matrix determinant to its eigenvalues with multiplicity.

Open in editor
LaTeX\det(A)=\prod_{i=1}^{n}\lambda_i

Variables

  • Define every symbol and unit before substitution.
  • Check the domain, shape, and convention required by the formula.

How to use this formula

Relates a square matrix determinant to its eigenvalues with multiplicity.

Important notes

  • Verify assumptions and units before applying the expression.
  • Keep exact values until the final rounding step when possible.

Quick example

Use the determinant as eigenvalue product with a small known example, then verify the result independently.

Applicability, worked calculation, and verification

Assumptions and domain checks

  • For the Determinant as Eigenvalue Product, verify assumptions and units before applying the expression.
  • For the Determinant as Eigenvalue Product, the index variable, lower bound, upper bound, and any empty-sum or empty-product convention must be clear.
  • Preserve matrix order and verify dimension compatibility; multiplication and inversion are not generally commutative or always defined.
  • Matrix and vector dimensions must be compatible, and any required inverse, determinant, rank, or basis condition must hold.

Worked example

Input

Output

Use the determinant as eigenvalue product with a small known example, then verify the result independently.

Common mistakes

  • Do not omit the index or bounds in Determinant as Eigenvalue Product; changing either one changes which terms are included.
  • Do not assume commutativity, invertibility, independence, or full rank unless the required condition has been established.
