... (c) Repeated Eigenvalues: If an eigenvalue is repeated we need to analyse the matrix A more carefully to find the corresponding vector solutions. Definition 1. The Algebraic Multiplicity (AM) of an eigenvalue λ is the number of times it appears as a root of the characteristic equation det(A − λI) = ...
