Monadic length Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-03
When each comparison functor has a left adjoint, iterating the Eilenberg-Moore comparison functor produces the monadic tower. Its monadic length is the least number of comparison steps needed to reach an equivalence; an equivalence has length zero and a non-equivalence that is already monadic has length one.
Left eigenvector Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05
Right eigenvector Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05
A right eigenvector of a square matrix is a nonzero column vector satisfying for some scalar . The scalar is its eigenvalue. Requiring is essential, since the zero vector satisfies the displayed equation for every .
For example,Thus the two displayed vectors are right eigenvectors with different eigenvalues. A left eigenvector instead acts on from the left; specifying the side matters for a general matrix.
