The core principle involves characterizing linear operators through spectral decomposition and orthogonality to solve systems where exact solutions do not exist. Formally defined by eigenvalues ($\lambda$) and eigenvectors, the theory dictates that a matrix is invertible if and only if it possesses no zero eigenvalues, while projection matrices are singular with rank equal to their non-zero eigenvalue count (typically 0 or 1). This framework within linear algebra establishes that solving least-squares problems reduces to projecting vector $B$ onto the column space of $A$, and diagonalization allows matrix powers $A^k$ to be computed efficiently via scalar growth factors, linking discrete iteration stability directly to spectral radius.
