The term "eigenvalue" refers to a noun which means each set of values of parameter for which differential equation has a nonzero solution. It can also refers to any number such that given matrix subtracted by the same number and multiply to the identity matrix has a zero determinant.

Is there exist a matrix whose eigenvalues are different that of its transpose?

No. Say your matrix is called A, then a number e is an eigenvalue of A exactly when A-eI is singular, where I is the identity matrix of the same dimensions as A. A-eI is singular exactly when (A-eI)T is singular, but (A-eI)T=AT-(eI)T =AT-eI. Therefore we can conclude that e is an eigenvalue of A exactly when it is an eigenvalue of AT.

What is an eigenvalue?

If a linear transformation acts on a vector and the result is only a change in the vector's magnitude, not direction, that vector is called an eigenvector of that particular linear transformation, and the magnitude that the vector is changed by is called an eigenvalue of that eigenvector.Formulaically, this statement is expressed as Av=kv, where A is the linear transformation, vis the eigenvector, and k is the eigenvalue. Keep in mind that A is usually a matrix and k is a scalar multiple that must exist in the field of which is over the vector space in question.
