Show that if $Ax = lambda x$ for a normal matrix $A,;$ then $A^{*}x = bar{lambda}x$












-2














Suppose $A in mathbb{C}^{ntimes n}$, and $A$ is normal, show that if $lambda$ is an eigenvalue of $A$, and $x$ is a corresponding eigenvector of $A$ associated with $lambda$, then $bar{lambda}$ is an eigenvalue of $A^*$, and $x$ is an eigenvector of $A^*$ associated with $bar{lambda}$. In other words, if $Ax=lambda x$, and $x neq 0$, then $A^*x=bar{lambda}x$, and $x neq 0$.



Hint: Show that if $A$ is normal, and $mu$ is any complex number, then $A-mu I_n$ is also normal. Now, using the norm generated by standard inner product $left langle .,. right rangle$, show that if $B in mathbb{C}^{ntimes n}$, and $B$ is normal, then $left |Bx right |^2=left |B^*x right |^2$ for all $ mathbb{C}^n$.
