My attempt at a solution uses the linear dependence lemma. Assume on the contrary that the list of vectors is linearly dependent. Then it is possible to find some $v_j$ that can be written as a linear combination of the remaining vectors: that is,
$$v_j = a_1v_1 + a_2v_2 + cdots + a_j-1v_j-1 + a_j+1v_j+1 + cdots + a_nv_n.$$ Applying the operator $(A - lambda I)^j+1$ to both sides, we have
$$ 0 = (A - lambda I)^j+1(a_1v_1 + a_2v_2 + cdots + a_j-1v_j-1) + (A - lambda I)^j+1(a_j-1v_j-1 + a_j+1v_j+1 + cdots + a_nv_n).$$ The first sum is zero, since the vectors there require the operator $A - lambda I$ applied at most $j$ times to be $0$. Hence, $$0 = (A - lambda I)^j+1(a_j-1v_j-1 + a_j+1v_j+1 + cdots + a_nv_n).$$
And this is where I'm stuck. How do I use this to show a contradiction and conclude they are linearly independent?

I use the assumption that
$$ (A-lambda I)^jv_jne 0quadtextandquad (A-lambda I)^j+1v_j=0,$$
otherwise it is not true. For example
$$
lambda=0, quad
A=left(beginarraycc 0 & 1\ 0 & 0endarrayright), quad v_j=binom01, quad jinmathbb N.
$$

In order to prove that $v_1,ldots,v_n$ are linearly independent, it suffices to show that, for all $k$, the vector $v_k$ can not be expressed as a linear combination of $v_1,ldots,v_k-1$.



Clearly, for $k=1$, this holds, since $(A-lambda)v_1ne 0$, and hence $v_1ne 0$.



Assume that
$v_k=c_1v_1+cdots+c_k-1v_k-1$. Then
$$
0ne (A-lambda I)^kv_k
=(A-lambda I)^kbig(c_1v_1+cdots+c_k-1v_k-1big)=0
$$
