To encode the message "JJ SYLVESTERJJ SYLVESTER" using the given matrix \( A = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 3 \end{pmatrix} \), we follow these steps:

### Step 1: Convert the Message to Numerical Form
We first convert each letter to its corresponding numerical value using the following scheme:
- A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, ..., Z = 26
- J = 10, S = 19, Y = 25, L = 12, V = 22, E = 5, T = 20, R = 18

So the message "JJ SYLVESTERJJ SYLVESTER" becomes:
\[ \text{JJ SYLVESTERJJ SYLVESTER} = 10, 10, 19, 25, 12, 22, 5, 19, 20, 5, 18, 10, 10, 19, 25, 12, 22, 5, 19, 20, 5, 18 \]

### Step 2: Partition the Message into Pairs
We group the numerical values into pairs:
\[
(10, 10), (19, 25), (12, 22), (5, 19), (20, 5), (18, 10), (10, 19), (25, 12), (22, 5), (19, 20), (5, 18)
\]

### Step 3: Multiply Each Pair by Matrix A
Each pair \( (x, y) \) is encoded by multiplying it by the matrix \( A \):

\[ A = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 3 \end{pmatrix} \]

For each pair \( (x, y) \), the encoded pair is given by:
\[ \text{Encoded Pair} = A \times \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 3 \end{pmatrix} \times \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} \]

This results in:
\[
\text{Encoded Pair} = \begin{pmatrix} x + 2y \\ x + 3y \end{pmatrix}
\]

### Step 4: Calculate the Encoded Pairs
Now, let's compute the encoded pairs for each:

1. \( (10, 10) \) → \( \begin{pmatrix} 10 + 2(10) \\ 10 + 3(10) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 30 \\ 40 \end{pmatrix} \)
2. \( (19, 25) \) → \( \begin{pmatrix} 19 + 2(25) \\ 19 + 3(25) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 69 \\ 94 \end{pmatrix} \)
3. \( (12, 22) \) → \( \begin{pmatrix} 12 + 2(22) \\ 12 + 3(22) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 56 \\ 78 \end{pmatrix} \)
4. \( (5, 19) \) → \( \begin{pmatrix} 5 + 2(19) \\ 5 + 3(19) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 43 \\ 62 \end{pmatrix} \)
5. \( (20, 5) \) → \( \begin{pmatrix} 20 + 2(5) \\ 20 + 3(5) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 30 \\ 35 \end{pmatrix} \)
6. \( (18, 10) \) → \( \begin{pmatrix} 18 + 2(10) \\ 18 + 3(10) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 38 \\ 48 \end{pmatrix} \)
7. \( (10, 19) \) → \( \begin{pmatrix} 10 + 2(19) \\ 10 + 3(19) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 48 \\ 67 \end{pmatrix} \)
8. \( (25, 12) \) → \( \begin{pmatrix} 25 + 2(12) \\ 25 + 3(12) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 49 \\ 61 \end{pmatrix} \)
9. \( (22, 5) \) → \( \begin{pmatrix} 22 + 2(5) \\ 22 + 3(5) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 32 \\ 37 \end{pmatrix} \)
10. \( (19, 20) \) → \( \begin{pmatrix} 19 + 2(20) \\ 19 + 3(20) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 59 \\ 79 \end{pmatrix} \)
11. \( (5, 18) \) → \( \begin{pmatrix} 5 + 2(18) \\ 5 + 3(18) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 41 \\ 59 \end{pmatrix} \)

### Final Encoded Message
The final encoded message is the sequence of the encoded pairs:
\[
(30, 40), (69, 94), (56, 78), (43, 62), (30, 35), (38, 48), (48, 67), (49, 61), (32, 37), (59, 79), (41, 59)
\]
