eigenvector in Portuguese
eigenvector in Portuguese is autovetor, vetor próprio — eigenvector means in linear algebra, a vector that keeps its direction and is only stretched or shrunk, not rotated, when a particular linear transformation is applied to it.
eigenvector in Portuguese
autovetor
(linear algebra) A vector that is only scaled (not rotated out of its span) under a particular linear transformation; a left or right eigenvector depending on context; (more formally) given a linear transformation A, a vector x such that Ax=λx [or xA=λx] for some scalar λ (called the eigenvalue).
