The matrix A A A is given by
A = ( − 1 2 12 0 1 0 0 0 3 ) . A=\begin{pmatrix}
-1&2&12\\
0&1&0\\
0&0&3

由上三角矩阵的三个特征值写出特征多项式。用 Cayley–Hamilton 定理先表示 A 3 A^3 A 3 ,再乘 A A A 并消去 A 3 A^3 A 3 。

The characteristic equation is
( λ + 1 ) ( λ − 1 ) ( λ − 3 ) = λ 3 − 3 λ 2 − λ + 3 = 0. (\lambda+1)(\lambda-1)(\lambda-3)=\lambda^3-3\lambda^2-\lambda+3=0. ( λ + 1 ) ( λ − 1 ) ( λ − 3 ) = λ 3 − 3 λ 2 − λ + 3 = 0.
By the Cayley–Hamilton theorem, A 3 = 3 A 2 + A − 3 I A^3=3A^2+A-3I A 3 = 3 A 2 + A − 3 I . Multiplying by A A A and substituting for A 3 A^3 A 3 gives
A 4 = 3 A 3 + A 2 − 3 A = 3 ( 3 A 2 + A − 3 I ) + A 2 − 3 A = 9 A 2 + 3 A − 9 I + A 2 − 3 A = 10 A 2 − 9 I . \begin{align*}
A^4=&\,3A^3+A^2-3A\\
=&\,3(3A^2+A-3I)+A^2-3A\\
=&\,9A^2+3A-9I+A^2-3A\\
=&\,10A^2-9I.
\end{align*} A 4 = = = = 3 A 3 + A 2 − 3 A 3 ( 3 A 2 + A − 3 I ) + A 2 − 3 A 9 A 2 + 3 A − 9 I + A 2 − 3 A 10 A 2 − 9 I .
Thus ( p , q ) = ( 10 , − 9 ) (p,q)=(10,-9) ( p , q ) = ( 10 , − 9 ) .

也可保留特征多项式的因式。补乘一个 A + 3 I A+3I A + 3 I ,就能把两个因式都化为 A 2 A^2 A 2 与常数矩阵之差。

By the Cayley–Hamilton theorem, ( A 2 − I ) ( A − 3 I ) = 0 (A^2-I)(A-3I)=0 ( A 2 − I ) ( A − 3 I ) = 0 . Multiplying by A + 3 I A+3I A + 3 I gives
( A 2 − I ) ( A 2 − 9 I ) = A 4 − 10 A 2 + 9 I = 0. (A^2-I)(A^2-9I)=A^4-10A^2+9I=0. ( A 2 − I ) ( A 2 − 9 I ) = A 4 − 10 A 2 + 9 I = 0.
Therefore A 4 = 10 A 2 − 9 I A^4=10A^2-9I A 4 = 10 A 2 − 9 I .
