CHAPTER 4. IMPROVING ON EULER’S METHOD 73<br />

More generally, the matrix A may not be diagonalizable;however, there is still a<br />

similarity transform to Jordan Canonical Form<br />

J = U −1 AU (4.38)<br />

where U is the matrix of generalized eigenvectors v k , k = 1, . . . , n, where<br />

(A − λI) k v k = 0, (4.39)<br />

<strong>The</strong> Jordan Canonical Form of a matrix is the block-diagonal matrix<br />

where each Jordan Block corresponds to one eigenvalue of the original matrix<br />

In this case we have<br />

e At = Ue Jt U −1 (4.42)<br />

It is generally easier to calculate the solution<br />

y =<br />

(k i − p)! v p, ie λ it<br />

where eigenvalue λ i is repeated k i times with generalized eigenvectors v p,i , p =<br />

<strong>The</strong>orem 4.1. <strong>The</strong> vector test equation is stable if all of the eigenvalues satisfy<br />

either Re(λ) < 0, or Re(λ) = 0 and λ is simple. <strong>The</strong> solution is asymptotically<br />

stable if all the eigenvalues satisfy Re(λ) < 0.<br />

4.2 Convergence, Consistency and Stability<br />

Definition 4.4 (One Step Method). Any method that can be written in the form<br />

is called a one-step method.<br />

y n+1 = y n + hφ(t n , y n , h) (4.44)<br />
