Diagonalização de operadores com aplicações à sistemas de equações diferenciais e identificação de cônicas

Abstract

The present dissertation aims to discuss diagonalization of linear operators, so that we can explore these concepts in the solution of systems of ordinary differential equations and in the identification of conics. A linear operator in a vector space of finite dimension can be represented by a matrix. Since diagonal arrays are the simplest from the point of view of matrix operations, we will show under what conditions, given a linear operator it is possible to represent it by a diagonal matrix. Thus, this paper presents the process of operator diagonalization, introduces basic concepts about systems of ordinary differential equations and applications.
