    1. Suppose A; J are similar matrices and write J = B1AB for some matrix B. Givena basis v1;v2; : : : ;vk for the null space of J , nd a basis for the null space of A (andalso prove that it is a basis).

    2. Find the Jordan form of each of the following matrices:

    A1 =

    24 0 2 33 1 11 2 4

    35 ; A2 =24 0 2 31 1 11 2 4

    35 :3. Find the Jordan form of each of the following matrices:

    A1 =

    26641 2 3 40 5 6 70 0 0 80 0 0 9

    3775 ; A2 =26642 0 2 10 2 1 20 0 1 10 0 0 1

    3775 :4. Let A denote the n n matrix whose entries are all equal to 1. Show that:

    (a) = 0 is an eigenvalue of A such that dimN (A I) = n 1,(b) the rst column of A is an eigenvector of A and A is diagonalizable.

    When writing up solutions, write legibly and coherently. Write your name and then MATHS/TP/TSM on the rst page of your homework. NO LATE HOMEWORK WILL BE ACCEPTED.
