Question: (a) Let K . M be positive definite n n matrices and 1 ... n be their generalized eigenvalues, as in Exercise

(a) Let K . M be positive definite n × n matrices and λ1 ‰¥ ... ‰¥ λn be their generalized eigenvalues, as in Exercise 8.4.9. Prove that that the largest generalized eigenvalue can be characterized by the maximum principle
λ1 = max {xTKx | xTMx = 11}.
(b) Prove the alternative maximum principle
x' K x A, = max x + 0 x' M x

(c) How would you characterize the smallest generalized eigenvalue?
(d) An intermediate generalized eigenvalue?

x' K x A, = max x + 0 x' M x
