# Questions tagged [eigenvalues]

Eigenvalues are a special set of scalars associated with a linear system of equations (i.e., a matrix equation) that are sometimes also known as characteristic roots, characteristic values (Hoffman and Kunze 1971), proper values, or latent roots (Marcus and Minc 1988, p. 144).

### Given a symmetric matrix, is it ok to apply Cholesky decomposition to see if it has negative eigenvalues?

I intend to check the diagonal of L, where A = L'L, for negative elements. However, I don't know if Cholesky is meaningful in theoretical / computational sense if there are some negative eigenvalues.
