Ok, let's consider we have matrix A with dimension 4X4 wich has 4 eigenvalues, those 4 eigenvalues are located on right side of y-axis. What I want to do, is mirroring those eigenvalues to left side of y-axis by multiplying A matrix. How I can do it?
Thank you for your interesting question. I am now correcting my correction :)
Yesterday I deleted my solution, because I didn't want to mislead people. The example was good. However, with another real matrix I obtained inconvenient eigenvalues. (Apparently, there were a mistake.)
Today I did a general algebraic computation using wxMaxima. The characteristic polynomials are
charpoly(A) = x4 - ax3 + bx2 - cx + d
charpoly(B) = x4 + ax3 + bx2 + cx + d
Thus it seems that the principle I proposed holds for any real matrix A4x4.
How to mirroring the eigenvalues of matrix (y-axis)?
Consider the matrix B= - A-bar, i.e., b-sub-ij= - complex conjugate of a-sub-ij for each i,j. Then the set of eigenvalues of B is the reflection in y-axis of the set of eigenvalues of A. In particular, if A has purely imaginary entries, then the set S of eigenvalues of A and reflection of S in y-axis are identical.
Proposition. If λ is an eigenvalue of A, then αλ is an eigenvalue of αA where α is any arbitrary scalar.
Proof. If λ is an eigenvalue of A, then there must exist an eigenvector x such that Ax =λx. Multiplying both sides of this equation by α we obtain (αA)x=(αλ)x. ■
If x is a eigenvector corresponding to a complex eigenvalue a + bi, b ≠ 0 of real matrix A. Then conjugate(x) is an eigenvector corresponding to the eigenvalue a - bi.
What if we have one eigenvalue on right side and another on left side, my goal is to keep all eigenvalues on left side,can I handle A vector so I can mirror just the eigenvalue on right side to left side?
In view of my accepted simple answer to your original question, for your new variant of your question, I think that literature on Stable polynomials may be helpful.
