It is often important to select a matrix similar to a given one but having a possibly simpler form, for example, diagonal form (see Diagonal matrix) or Jordan form (see Jordan matrix)
On the other hand the matrix (0 1 0 also has the repeated eigenvalue 0, but is That is, the generic case is that of an invertible matrix, the special case is that of a matrix that is not invertible

So, if v is an eigenvector of A, with eigenvalue λ, then P−1v is an eigenvector of
B B
Two matrices may have the same eigenvalues and the same number of eigen vectors, but if their Jordan blocks are different sizes those matrices can not be similar
We prove that A and B have the same characteristic polynomial
Then the result follows immediately since eigenvalues and algebraic multiplicities of a matrix are determined by its characteristic polynomial
If you have an example, perhaps you could show it
Let A and B be similar matrices, so B = S-1 AS for some nonsingular matrix S

the set of all its eigenvectors spans the whole of
Hence A and B are not similar
Matrix C C must satisfy following properties: All zero rows are at the bottom
Similar matrices represent the same linear map under two (possibly) different bases, with P being the change of basis matrix

The total number of rows by the number of columns describes the size or dimension of a matrix

Square matrices can be grouped by similarity, and each group has a “nicest” representative in Jordan normal form
Show that the set of non-singular matrices is NOT a subspace
$\begingroup$ Doesn't "Therefore λ2 is an eigenvalue for P⊤P, which is the square of a singular value for the matrix P
Formally, Because equal matrices have equal dimensions, only square matrices can be symmetric
In the case of a real symmetric matrix B B, the eigenvectors of B B are eigenvectors of B∗B = B2 B ∗ B = B 2, but not vice versa (in the case where λ λ and −λ − λ are both eigenvalues for some λ ≠ 0 λ ≠ 0 )
