    The minimal polynomial M(x) of an n × n matrix A over a field F is the monic polynomial P over F(field ) of least degree such that P(A) = 0. Any other polynomial Q with Q(A) = 0 is a multiple of M(x).

    Refer attached example.

    what is the difference between char. poly. and minimal poly.?

    eduncle-logo-app

    degree of characteristics polynomial of matrix n×n is always n . But degree of minimal polynomial will be less than or equal to n . And minimal polynomial always divides characteristics polynomial but characteristics polynomial divides minimal only when degree of minimal is n.

    similarities is that both polynomial satisfies matrix . And both contains same factors of form (x-a) where a is eigenvalue without multiplicity.
