Question: Let v = x + i y be an eigenvector corresponding to a complex, non-real eigenvalue of the real n n matrix A. (a)

Let v = x + i y be an eigenvector corresponding to a complex, non-real eigenvalue of the real n × n matrix A.

(a) Prove that the Krylov subspaces V(k) for k ≥ 2 generated by both x and y are all two-dimensional. 

(b) Is the converse valid? Specifically, if dim V(3) = 2, then all V(k) are two dimensional for k ≥ 1 and spanned by the real and imaginary parts of a complex eigenvector of A.
