Definition of Eigenvector

1. Noun. (linear algebra) A vector that is not rotated under a given linear transformation; a left or right eigenvector depending on context. ¹

2. Noun. (context: physics engineering) A right eigenvector; a nonzero vector x such that, for a particular matrix A, A x = \lambda x for some scalar \lambda which is its eigenvalue and an eigenvalue of the matrix. ¹
