Fundamental Matrix

A fundamental matrix is a matrix of solutions to a linear system of differential equations.

the matrix is a fundamental matrix if:

  1. Each column of solves the homogenous equation (the one listed above?)
  2. for all in

Double Check: The fundamental matrix is made from the eigenpairs of the system:

Where is the eigenvalue and is the eigenvector.
