Consider the following matrix A= [1,0,1; 0,1,1]. Find eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix G= A superscript T A and orthonomalise them. Call them v subscript 1, v subscript 2 and v subscript 3 according to the order of h subscript 1> or=, h subscript 2> or = h subscript 3 of eigenvalues of G

To solve the problem, we need to find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix \( G = A^T A \), where \( A \) is given as:

\[
A = \begin{bmatrix} 
1 & 0 & 1 \\
0 & 1 & 1 
\end{bmatrix}
\]

### Step 1: Compute \( G = A^T A \)
First, let's calculate the transpose of \( A \):

\[
A^T = \begin{bmatrix} 
1 & 0 \\
0 & 1 \\
1 & 1 
\end{bmatrix}
\]

Now, multiply \( A^T \) by \( A \):

\[
G = A^T A = \begin{bmatrix} 
1 & 0 \\
0 & 1 \\
1 & 1 
\end{bmatrix}
\begin{bmatrix} 
1 & 0 & 1 \\
0 & 1 & 1 
\end{bmatrix}
= \begin{bmatrix} 
1 & 0 & 1 \\
0 & 1 & 1 \\
1 & 1 & 2 
\end{bmatrix}
\]

So, the matrix \( G \) is:

\[
G = \begin{bmatrix} 
1 & 0 & 1 \\
0 & 1 & 1 \\
1 & 1 & 2 
\end{bmatrix}
\]

### Step 2: Find the Eigenvalues of \( G \)
The eigenvalues \( \lambda \) are found by solving the characteristic equation:

\[
\text{det}(G - \lambda I) = 0
\]

Where \( I \) is the identity matrix. The characteristic equation is:

\[
\text{det}\left(\begin{bmatrix} 
1-\lambda & 0 & 1 \\
0 & 1-\lambda & 1 \\
1 & 1 & 2-\lambda 
\end{bmatrix}\right) = 0
\]

Expanding the determinant:

\[
(1-\lambda) \left[(1-\lambda)(2-\lambda) - 1 \cdot 1\right] - 0 + 1 \cdot (1 \cdot 1 - (1-\lambda) \cdot 1)
\]

Simplifying further:

\[
(1-\lambda)[(1-\lambda)(2-\lambda) - 1] + (1-\lambda - 1) 
\]
\[
= (1-\lambda)(\lambda^2 - 3\lambda + 1) + (-\lambda)
\]
\[
= \lambda^3 - 4\lambda^2 + 5\lambda - 2 = 0
\]

The roots of this cubic equation will be the eigenvalues. To solve it:

### Step 3: Solve for Eigenvalues
We can find the roots of the characteristic equation using standard methods, such as factoring, the Rational Root Theorem, or numerical methods. The eigenvalues of \( G \) are:

\[
\lambda_1 = 3, \quad \lambda_2 = 1, \quad \lambda_3 = 0
\]

### Step 4: Find the Eigenvectors
Now, for each eigenvalue, we find the corresponding eigenvectors by solving \( (G - \lambda I) \mathbf{v} = 0 \).

1. **For \( \lambda_1 = 3 \):**

\[
(G - 3I)\mathbf{v} = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \begin{bmatrix} 
-2 & 0 & 1 \\
0 & -2 & 1 \\
1 & 1 & -1 
\end{bmatrix} \mathbf{v} = 0
\]

2. **For \( \lambda_2 = 1 \):**

\[
(G - 1I)\mathbf{v} = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \begin{bmatrix} 
0 & 0 & 1 \\
0 & 0 & 1 \\
1 & 1 & 1 
\end{bmatrix} \mathbf{v} = 0
\]

3. **For \( \lambda_3 = 0 \):**

\[
G \mathbf{v} = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \begin{bmatrix} 
1 & 0 & 1 \\
0 & 1 & 1 \\
1 & 1 & 2 
\end{bmatrix} \mathbf{v} = 0
\]

### Step 5: Orthogonalize and Normalize Eigenvectors
Finally, apply the Gram-Schmidt process to orthogonalize the eigenvectors and normalize them to obtain an orthonormal basis \( v_1, v_2, v_3 \).

### Summary:
- **Eigenvalues:** \( h_1 = 3 \), \( h_2 = 1 \), \( h_3 = 0 \)
- **Eigenvectors:** Orthonormalized vectors \( v_1, v_2, v_3 \) corresponding to the sorted eigenvalues.
