Specialty Expressions: Eigen

Expressions	Domain	Definition
Eigen value	Physics	That value of a variable to which an operation defined in that variable converges (see convergence). Like equilibrium, eigen values are stable points in the domain of computation and a property of the operation. E.g., x' = 3D (x+1)/2 converges to an eigen value of 1 (see iteration). (Krippendorff).

Eigen vector	Mathematics	A nonzero vector v whose direction is not changed by a given linear transformation T. Source: European Union. (references)
