Abstract
We prove that if any or fewer elements of a finite family of linear operators ( is an arbitrary field) have a common eigenvector then all operators in the family have a common eigenvector. Moreover, cannot be replaced by a smaller number. Also, we study the following problem, achieving partial results: prove that if any or fewer elements of a finite family of linear operators have a common non-trivial invariant subspace then all operators in the family have a common non-trivial invariant subspace.
