Real-valued matrices and their eigenvalues












0














Why are the eigenvalues of the symmetric matrix $A^TB^TBA$ equal to the eigenvalues of the matrix $B^TBAA^T$ where $A in mathbb{R}^{3 times 3}$ and $B$ is either:



$B = begin{pmatrix} {1}, {0}, {0} end{pmatrix}$, $begin{pmatrix} {1}, {0}, {0}
\
{0}, {0}, {1}end{pmatrix}$
or $I_3$?

          In fact, the nonzero eigenvalues of $CD$ and $DC$ are always the same for any matrices $C$ and $D$ that can be multiplied in both directions.
          See e.g. here.
          This is just the case $C = A^T$, $D = B^T B A$.
