-
A.
Sylvester’s law of inertia
chosen
Sylvester’s law of inertia is a theorem in linear algebra stating that the numbers of positive, negative, and zero eigenvalues (the inertia) of a real symmetric matrix are invariant under change of basis.
-
B.
Courant–Fischer min–max theorem
The Courant–Fischer min–max theorem is a fundamental result in linear algebra and spectral theory that characterizes the eigenvalues of a Hermitian (or symmetric) matrix via variational min–max principles over subspaces.
-
C.
Bohr–Courant theorem
The Bohr–Courant theorem is a classical result in analytic number theory describing the value distribution of Dirichlet series, particularly the Riemann zeta function, and serves as a precursor to modern universality theorems such as Voronin’s.
-
D.
Cayley–Hamilton theorem
The Cayley–Hamilton theorem is a fundamental result in linear algebra stating that every square matrix satisfies its own characteristic polynomial.
-
E.
Sylvester determinant
The Sylvester determinant is a mathematical construct introduced by James Joseph Sylvester, typically referring to a determinant associated with resultants and elimination theory in algebra.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
