panic mode Well-Known Member Jul 29, 2013 #2 explaining what? just the highlighted part? it is basic arithmetic: xdot = A*x where xdot = lambda*x therefore we can write lambda*x = A*x lambda*x - A*x =0 note that lambda is some proportionality scaler (which we call eigenvalue) er can write [lambda*I -A]x = 0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenvalue
