If \(AB = BA\) then  \(A,B\) share an EV .

If \(AB = BA\) then  \(A,B\) share an EV .

Assume \(AB = BA\).

If \(\lambda, v\) an EW-EV pair of \(A\) then \(A(Bv) = (AB)v = B(Av) = \lambda Bv\) thus \(Bv\) is an eigenvector of \(A\).
Then \(Bv\) is a multiple of some \(v\) of that EW \(\lambda\) (easiest to see for \(A\) complete set of real EVs) \(\implies\) \(Bv = \lambda'v\) thus that \(v\) is also an EV of \(B\)

If \(AB = BA\) then they share an EV and thus \(A + B\) also has that EV .

Back

ETH::1._Semester::LinAlg::8._Eigenvalues_and_Eigenvectors::5._Extra
If \(AB = BA\) then they share an EV and thus \(A + B\) also has that EV .

If both \(A\) and \(B\) share an EV:
\((A + B)v = Av + Bv = \lambda v + \lambda' v = (\lambda + \lambda')v\) then \(A + B\) also has that EV.
