Exercise 8.D.1

Find the characteristic polynomial and the minimal polynomial of the operator N in Example 8.53.

Answers

Proof. By Exercise 11 in section 8B the characteristic polynomial is z4 and by 8.46 this is a polynomial multiple of the minimal polynomial. Since N30, it follows that the minimal polynomial of N is z4. □
