Abstract

The concept of rhotrix eigenvector eigenvalue problem (REP) was introduced by Aminu (Int. J. Math. Educ. Sci. Technol. 41:98–105, 2010). As an extension to this, we have presented in this article some properties of rhotrix eigenvalues and eigenvectors considering the numerous applications of matrix eigenvector eigenvalue problem in areas of Applied Mathematics. A classic problem in linear algebra, the diagonalization problem in terms of rhotrices (RDP) is also introduced.
