          If $A$ is a symmetric matrix over a real space or a Hermitian matrix over a complex space, then
          $$
          Ax = sum_{n=1}^{N}lambda_n P_nx
          $$

          where ${ lambda_1,cdots,lambda_N }$ are the distinct eigenvalues of $A$, and where $P_n$ is the orthogonal projection onto the eigenspace $mathcal{ker}(A-lambda_n I)$. For example, if ${ e_{n,1},e_{n,2},cdots,e_{n,k_n} }$ is an orthonormal basis of $mbox{ker}(A-lambda_n I)$, then the orthogona projection $P_n$ may be written as
          $$
          P_nx = sum_{j=1}^{k_n}langle x,e_{n,j}rangle e_{n,j}
          $$



          These projections satisfy:
          $$
          P_n^2 = P_n, \ P_n^*= P_n; (mbox{or } P_n^{T}=P_n mbox{ for real spaces}) \
          P_nP_m = 0 mbox{ for } nne m \
          AP_n = lambda_n P_n \
          sum_{n=1}^{N} P_n = I,\
          A = sum_{n=1}^{N}lambda_n P_n.
          $$
