Solution Summary
We determine the eigenvalues, determinant and singular values of a Householder reflector.
Solution Preview
A Householder reflector is a linear transformation R of the form
Rv = v - 2n<v,n>
where n is a unit vector. Now construct an orthonormal basis for the vector space V of R by choosing n = e_1 as the first vector in the basis and choosing ...
