Inputs/Outputs

  • c2ddbl.png Input Matrix —

    Input Matrix is the matrix for which you want to compute the characteristic polynomial. Input Matrix must be a square matrix.

  • i1ddbl.png Characteristic Polynomial —

    Characteristic Polynomial returns the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of Input Matrix in ascending order.

  • ii32.png error —

    error returns any error or warning from the VI. You can wire error to the Error Cluster From Error Code VI to convert the error code or warning into an error cluster.

    • The characteristic polynomial of Input Matrix A is defined as p(λ) = det(λI – A), where det denotes the matrix determinant. If A is a square matrix of order n, the order of its characteristic polynomials is n. Moreover, the n roots of the characteristic polynomial are the eigenvalues of A.
