Eigenvalue and transfer function (8)

Last time I use sin and cos, but this relationship becomes simpler if we use Euler's formula.

Let's apply the same operator T.

Wow again. This is also eigenfunction of operator T.

This function is based on trigonometric functions. Therefore, we use these trigonometric function as the basis of the frequency domain analysis. Eigenvalues show us a brief overview of the operation and its function.

Assume we have an input x and an output y, operator T is applied to the input x, then the result is the y. If eigenvalue exists, we could write it as the following.

This means, the input is transfered to the output and how much transfered is λ. Therefore, signal processing people call this λ as a transfer function. Why it is called function? λ looks like a constant. Usually, λ is not a function of input x, but it usually has some parameter, means this is a function. For example, in the former equation, λ is not a function of x, but a function of ω. In signal processing, x is usually time t and ω is frequency.

This means, a transfer function in signal processing is eigenvalue of linear algebra. How great it is!

This is an overview of recently I understand about eigenvalue, eigenvector, eigenfunction, and transfer function. I hope this also helps someone.

I wrote this article, but, actually first one month I didn't understand this at all. I thank Alexander B. who is so patient and answered my stupid and similar questions every time.

Why A^{T}A is invertible? (2) Linear Algebra

Why A^{T}A has the inverse Let me explain why A^{T}A has the inverse, if the columns of A are independent. First, if a matrix is n by n, and all the columns are independent, then this is a square full rank matrix. Therefore, there is the inverse. So, the problem is when A is a m by n, rectangle matrix. Strang's explanation is based on null space. Null space and column space are the fundamental of the linear algebra. This explanation is simple and clear. However, when I was a University student, I did not recall the explanation of the null space in my linear algebra class. Maybe I was careless. I regret that... Explanation based on null space This explanation is based on Strang's book. Column space and null space are the main characters. Let's start with this explanation. Assume x where x is in the null space of A . The matrices ( A^{T} A ) and A share the null space as the following: This means, if x is in the null space of A , x is also in the null spa

Gauss's quote for positive, negative, and imaginary number

Recently I watched the following great videos about imaginary numbers by Welch Labs. https://youtu.be/T647CGsuOVU?list=PLiaHhY2iBX9g6KIvZ_703G3KJXapKkNaF I like this article about naming of math by Kalid Azad. https://betterexplained.com/articles/learning-tip-idea-name/ Both articles mentioned about Gauss, who suggested to use other names of positive, negative, and imaginary numbers. Gauss wrote these names are wrong and that is one of the reason people didn't get why negative times negative is positive, or, pure positive imaginary times pure positive imaginary is negative real number. I made a few videos about explaining why -1 * -1 = +1, too. Explanation: why -1 * -1 = +1 by pattern https://youtu.be/uD7JRdAzKP8 Explanation: why -1 * -1 = +1 by climbing a mountain https://youtu.be/uD7JRdAzKP8 But actually Gauss's insight is much powerful. The original is in the Gauß, Werke, Bd. 2, S. 178 . Hätte man +1, -1, √-1) nicht positiv, negative, imaginäre (oder gar um

Why parallelogram area is |ad-bc|?

Here is my question. The area of parallelogram is the difference of these two rectangles (red rectangle - blue rectangle). This is not intuitive for me. If you also think it is not so intuitive, you might interested in my slides. I try to explain this for hight school students. Slides: A bit intuitive (for me) explanation of area of parallelogram (to my site, external link) .
