A new strategy for directly calculating the minimum eigenvector of matrices without diagonalization

2020 
The diagonalization of matrices may be the top priority in the application of modern physics. In this paper, we numerically demonstrate that, for real symmetric random matrices with non-positive off-diagonal elements, a universal scaling relationship between the eigenvector and matrix elements exists. Namely, each element of the eigenvector of ground states linearly correlates with the sum of matrix elements in the corresponding row. Although the conclusion is obtained based on random matrices, the linear relationship still keeps for non-random matrices, in which off-diagonal elements are non-positive. The relationship implies a straightforward method to directly calculate the eigenvector of ground states for one kind of matrices. The tests on both Hubbard and Ising models show that, this new method works excellently.
