1) An eigenvector of a square matrix A is a non-zero vector x that satisfies the equation Ax = λx, where λ is the corresponding eigenvalue.
2) The zero vector cannot be an eigenvector, but λ = 0 can be an eigenvalue.
3) For a matrix A, the eigenvectors and eigenvalues can be found by solving the system of equations (A - λI)x = 0, where λI is the identity matrix multiplied by the eigenvalue λ.
