how to calculate the eigenvalues of a matrix in matlab

To calculate the eigenvalues of a matrix in Matlab, you can use the "eig" function.

main.m
A = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9];
eigenvalues = eig(A)

In this example, we have defined a 3x3 matrix A. We then use the "eig" function to calculate the eigenvalues of A and store them in the "eigenvalues" variable.

Note that the "eig" function only returns the eigenvalues of the matrix, not the corresponding eigenvectors. If you also need the eigenvectors, you can use the "eig" function with two output arguments like this:

main.m
[A_eigenvectors, A_eigenvalues] = eig(A)

2 lines

This will calculate both the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the matrix A, and store them in the "A_eigenvectors" and "A_eigenvalues" variables, respectively.
