Show that the eigenvalues of a unitary matrix have modulus $1$ Ask Question Asked 9 years, 8 months ago Modified 1 year, 8 months ago

The modulus operator takes a division statement and returns whatever is left over from that calculation, the "remaining" data, so to speak, such as 13 / 5 = 2. Which means, there is 3 left over, or remaining …

I know how to solve mod using division i.e. $$11 \\mod 7 = 4$$ For this I did a simple division and took its remainder: i.e. $$11 = 7 \\cdot 1 + 4$$ Where $11$ was dividend, $7$ divisor, $1$ quotient...

Why do you say a prime modulus require an integer division? I guess people were talking about that common implementation that requires addition and multiplication only: hash = modulus * hash + …

Modulus is a term used for absolute value in complex analysis, and also a term used for the thing-being-divided-by in remainder arithmetic (actually called modular arithmetic).

The modulus operator in Java is the percent character (%). Therefore taking an int % int returns another int. The double equals (==) operator is used to compare values, such as a pair of ints and returns a …

In the context of cryptography, I need to find the private key of a message and I need to use modular arithmetic. I understand how modular arithmetic using a clock with whole numbers. But I get rea...

Neither language calls it the modulus operator. This also explains why the remainder is negative: because the / operator truncates towards 0, and (a / b) * b + (a % b) should equal a.

The eigenvalues of an orthogonal matrix needs to have modulus one. If the eigenvalues happen to be real, then they are forced to be $\pm 1$. Otherwise though, they are free to lie anywhere on the unit …
