values of A are the diagonal entries of A.
· A and its transpose matrix have same eigen values.
· Eigen values of a symmetric matrix are all real.
· Eigen vectors of a symmetric matrix are orthogonal, but only for distinct eigen values.
· The dominant or principal eigen vector of a matrix is an eigen vector corresponding to the eigen
value of largest magnitude (for real numbers, largest absolute value) of that matrix.
· For a transition matrix, the dominant eigen value is always 1.
· The smallest eigen value of matrix A is the same as the inverse (reciprocal) of the largest eigen value

DIAGONALISATION OF A MATRIX

diagonalisation of the Matrix A

DIAGONALISATION BY ORTHOGONAL
TRANSFORMATION OR ORTHOGONAL REDUCTION
If A is a real symmetric matrix, then the eigen vectors of A will be not only linearly independent but also
pair wise orthogonal. If we normalize each eigen vector ܺ௥ i.e. divide each element of ܺ௥ by the square
root of the sum of the square\s of all the elements of ܺ௥ and use the normalized eigen vectors of A to form
the normalised modal matrix N, then it can be proved that N is an orthogonal matrix. By a property of
orthogonal matrix, ܰ ିଵ ൌ ܰ ் .
‫ ׵‬The similarity transformation ‫ିܯ‬ଵ ‫ ܯܣ‬ൌ ‫ ܦ‬takes the form ܰ ் ‫ ܰܣ‬ൌ ‫ܦ‬.
Transforming A into D by means of the transformation ܰ ் ‫ ܰܣ‬ൌ ‫ ܦ‬is known as orthogonal transformation or
orthogonal reduction.
NOTE:- Diagonalisation by orthogonal transformation is possible only for a real symmetric matrix.

This form of Q is called the sum of the squares form of Q or the canonical form of Q.
NATURE OF QUADRATIC FORMS:
Rank: When the quadratic form is reduced to the canonical form it contains only r terms which is the
rank of A.
Index: The number of positive terms in the canonical form is called the index (p) of the quadratic
form.
Signature: The difference between the number of positive and negative terms is called signature (s) of
the quadratic form [s = 2p-r].
The quadratic form ܳ ൌ ܺ ் ‫ ܺܣ‬in n variables is said to be
(i) Positive definite: If r = n and p = n or if all the eigen values of A are positive.
(ii) Positive semi definite: If r < n and p = r or if all the eigen values of ‫ ܣ‬൒ Ͳ and atleast one eigen value is
zero.
(iii) Negative definite: If r = n and p = 0 or if all the eigen values of A are negative.
(iv) Negative semi definite: If r < n and p = 0 or if all the eigen values of ‫ ܣ‬൑ Ͳ and atleast one eigen
value is zero.
(v) Indefinite: In all other cases or if A has positive as well as negative eigen values.
RULES FOR FINDING NATURE OF QUADRATIC FORM USING PRINCIPAL SUB-
DETERMINANTS:
In this method we can determine the nature of the quadratic form without reducing it to the canonical form.
Le A be a square matrix of order n.

CONE
DEFINITION: A cone is defined as a surface generated by a straight line which passes through a fixed
point and satisfies one or more conditioni.e.ie, it may intersect a fixed curve.
Note:
1. The fixed point is said to be the vertex of the cone
2. The fixed curve is said to be the guiding curve of the cone
3. The straight line in any position is called the generator of the cone.

Envelope: A curve which touches each member of a family of curves is called envelope of that family
curves.

54
Envelope of a family of curves: The locus of the ultimate points of intersection of consecutive members of
a family of curve is called the envelope of the family of curves.
Properties of envelope and evolute
Property:1: The normal at any point of a curve is a tangent to its evolute touching at the corresponding
centre of curvature.
Property:2 The difference between the radii of curvature at two points of a curve
is equal to the length of the arc of the evolute between the two corresponding points.
Property:3: There is one evolute ,but an infinite number of involutes
Property:4 The envelope of a family of curves touches at each of its point. The corresponding member of
that family
Evolute as the envelope of normals: The normals to a curve form a family of straight lines.we know that
the envelope of the family of these normals is the locus of the ultimate points of intersection of consecutive
normals. But the centre of curvature of a curve is also the point of consecutive normals. Hence the envelope
of the normals and the locus of the centres of curvature are the same that is ,the evolute of a curve is the
envelope of the normals of the curve.

4.Use Taylor ' s series oftwo var iables to exp and x 2 y + 3 y - 2 in powers of x + 1 and y - 2.
Solution
We knowthat the exp ansion of f ( x, y ) in powers x - a and y - b is given by
f ( x, y ) = f ( a , b ) + ( x - a ) f x ( a , b ) + ( y - b ) f y ( a , b )

3!
+ ( y - b)3 f yyy ] ....(1)

Here a = -1, b = 2
Now f ( x, y ) = x 2 + 3 y - 2 \ f (-1, 2) = 6
f x = 2 xy f x (-1, 2) = -4
f y = x2 + 3 f y (-1, 2) = 4
f xx = 2 y f xx (-1, 2) = 4
f xy = 2 x f xy (-1, 2) = -2
f yy = 0 f yy (-1, 2) = 0
f xxx = 0 f xxx (-1, 2) = 0

f xxy = 2 f xxy (-1, 2) = 2

94
f xyy = 0 f xyy (-1, 2) = 0
f yyy = 0 f yyy (-1, 2) = 0
Substituting these value s in (1) we get ,

1
x 2 y + 3 y - 2 = 6 + ( x + 1)(-4) + ( y - 2)(4) + [( x + 1) 2 (4) + 2( x + 1)( y - 2)(-2) + ( y - 2) 2 (0)]

From (3) we get x y = y - 2 x y

...(5)
Substituting (5) in (4) we get

2 xy 3 + y - 2 x 3 y - x = 0
i.e., 2 x3 y - 2 xy 3 - y + x = 0
i.e., 2 xy ( x 2 - y 2 ) + ( x - y ) = 0
i.e., 2 xy {( x - y )( x + y )} + ( x - y ) = 0
( x - y ) {2 xy ( x + y ) + 1} = 0
\ x = y (or )2 xy ( x + y ) + 1 = 0

when x = y, the equation 2 x 3 + x 3 y - 1 = 0

11. Athin closed rec tan gular box is to have one edge equal to twice the other , and a cons tan t
valume 72m3 . Find the least surface area of the box.
Solution
Let the sides of the rec tan gular box be 2 x, x, y.
Then volume is 2 x.x. y = 72
i.e., 2 x 2 y = 72
i.e., x 2 y = 36 ...(1)
The surface area is given by
S = 2(2 x.x) + 2(2 x. y ) + 2( x. y )

\ S has a min imum value at (3, 4)
The min imum value of S = 4(3) 2 + 6(3)(4)

EVALUATION OF DOUBLE INTEGRALS


Before starting on double integrals let’s do a quick review of the definition of a definite integrals for
functions of single variables. First, when working with the

Integral,

We think of x’s as coming from the interval . For these integrals we can say that we are

integrating over the interval . Note that this does assume that , however, if we have then

we can just use the interval .


Now, when we derived the definition of the definite integral we first thought of this as an area problem.

We first asked what the area under the curve was and to do this we broke up the interval into n

subintervals of width and choose a point, , from each interval as shown below,

Each of the rectangles has height of and we could then use the area of each of these rectangles to
approximate the area as follows.
109
To get the exact area we then took the limit as n goes to infinity and this was also the definition of the
definite integral.

௬ ௫
To evaluate‫׬‬௬ భ ‫׬‬௫ భ ݂ሺ‫ݔ‬ǡ ‫ݕ‬ሻ ݀‫ݕ݀ ݔ‬, we first integrate f(x,y) with respect to x partially, treating y as
బ బ

a constant temporarily, between ‫ݔ‬଴ and ‫ݔ‬ଵ . The resulting function got after the inner integration and
substitution of limits will be a function of y. Then we integrate this function of y with respect to y
between the limits ‫ݕ‬଴ and ‫ݕ‬ଵ as usual.

integration is changed. This process of converting a given double integral into its equivalent double integral by
changing the order of integration is often called change of order of integration. To effect the change of order of
integration, the region of integration is identified first, a rough sketch of the region is drawn and then the new
limits are fixed.

To evaluate ‫׬‬௭ భ ‫׬‬௬ భ ‫׬‬௫ భ ݂ሺ‫ݔ‬ǡ ‫ݕ‬ǡ ‫ݖ‬ሻ ݀‫ݖ݀ݕ݀ ݔ‬, we first integrate ݂ሺ‫ݔ‬ǡ ‫ݕ‬ǡ ‫ݖ‬ሻ with respect to x , treating y and
బ బ బ

s as constants temporarily. The limits ‫ݔ‬଴ and ‫ݔ‬ଵ may be constants or functions of y and z, so that the resulting
function got after the innermost integration may be a function of y and z. Then we perform the middle
integration with respect to y, treating z as a constant temporarily. The limits ‫ݕ‬଴ and ‫ݕ‬ଵ may be constants or
functions of z, so that the resulting function got after the middle integration may be a function of z only. Finally
we perform the outermost integration with respect to z between the constant limits ‫ݖ‬଴ and ‫ݖ‬ଵ .

The following sketch shows the relationship between the Cartesian and spherical coordinate systems.

Here are the conversion formulas for spherical coordinates.

We also have the following restrictions on the coordinates.
