Target entity: Sylvester’s law of inertia
Context triple: [James Joseph Sylvester, notableConcept, Sylvester’s law of inertia]
  • 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.
