  2. Canonical form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_form

    Jordan normal form is a canonical form for matrix similarity. The row echelon form is a canonical form, when one considers as equivalent a matrix and its left product by an invertible matrix . In computer science, and more specifically in computer algebra , when representing mathematical objects in a computer, there are usually many different ...

  3. Jordan normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_normal_form

    The lambdas are the eigenvalues of the matrix; they need not be distinct. In linear algebra, a Jordan normal form, also known as a Jordan canonical form, [1][2] is an upper triangular matrix of a particular form called a Jordan matrix representing a linear operator on a finite-dimensional vector space with respect to some basis.

  4. Gaussian elimination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_elimination

    Red row eliminates the following rows, green rows change their order. In mathematics, Gaussian elimination, also known as row reduction, is an algorithm for solving systems of linear equations. It consists of a sequence of row-wise operations performed on the corresponding matrix of coefficients. This method can also be used to compute the rank ...

  5. Row echelon form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Row_echelon_form

    Row echelon form. In linear algebra, a matrix is in row echelon form if it can be obtained as the result of Gaussian elimination. Every matrix can be put in row echelon form by applying a sequence of elementary row operations. The term echelon comes from the French échelon ("level" or step of a ladder), and refers to the fact that the nonzero ...

  6. Frobenius normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frobenius_normal_form

    A rational normal form generalizing the Jordan normal form. The Frobenius normal form does not reflect any form of factorization of the characteristic polynomial, even if it does exist over the ground field F. This implies that it is invariant when F is replaced by a different field (as long as it contains the entries of the original matrix A).

  7. Matrix similarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_similarity

    Matrix similarity. In linear algebra, two n -by- n matrices A and B are called similar if there exists an invertible n -by- n matrix P such that Similar matrices represent the same linear map under two (possibly) different bases, with P being the change-of-basis matrix. [1][2] A transformation A ↦ P−1AP is called a similarity transformation ...

  8. Eigendecomposition of a matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigendecomposition_of_a_matrix

    In linear algebra, eigendecomposition is the factorization of a matrix into a canonical form, whereby the matrix is represented in terms of its eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Only diagonalizable matrices can be factorized in this way. When the matrix being factorized is a normal or real symmetric matrix, the decomposition is called "spectral ...

  9. Hermite normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermite_normal_form

    In linear algebra, the Hermite normal form is an analogue of reduced echelon form for matrices over the integers Z.Just as reduced echelon form can be used to solve problems about the solution to the linear system Ax=b where x is in R n, the Hermite normal form can solve problems about the solution to the linear system Ax=b where this time x is restricted to have integer coordinates only.
