Show that if $\mathbf{u}(t)$ is a solution to $\mathbf{u}=A \mathbf{u}$, and $S$ is a constant, nonsingular matrix of the same size as $A$, then $\mathbf{v}(t)=S \mathbf{u}(t)$ solves the linear system $\mathbf{v}=B \mathbf{v}$, where $B=S A S^{-1}$ is similar to $A$.

Key Concepts

Change of Variables in Linear Systems

The change of variables in linear systems involves transforming the solution of one system into the solution of another by using an invertible matrix. In this context, if u(t) is a solution to the system defined by A, then applying the constant, nonsingular matrix S as a change of basis yields the new variable v(t) = S u(t). This transformation leads to a new system with the matrix B = S A S?¹, preserving the dynamics of the solution under the coordinate change.

Properties of Invertible Matrices

An invertible (or nonsingular) matrix is a matrix that has an inverse, meaning there exists another matrix such that their product is the identity matrix. The invertibility of S is crucial in the change of variables, ensuring that the transformation is reversible and that the new matrix B is well-defined. The existence of S?¹ facilitates the mapping between the original and transformed systems.

Matrix Similarity

Matrix similarity refers to the relationship between two matrices where one can be transformed into the other by a change of basis. Specifically, if B = SAS?¹, then matrices A and B are said to be similar, meaning they represent the same linear transformation expressed in different coordinate systems. Similar matrices share many properties, such as eigenvalues and the structure of their Jordan forms.
