Similar matrices

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by DavidB4-bot (talk | contribs) at 19:19, July 13, 2016. It may differ significantly from current revision.

Similar matrices are those for which a third matrix, S, exists such that:

B = S-1AS

When two matrices are similar (A and B here), then they must have the same eigenvalues. This facilitated representation of the matrices with eigenvalues along their diagonals.
