                      Jordan

                      Reading time: 1min

                      The Jordan decomposition of a matrix A is a change of basis where A is written into a diagonal or quasi-diagonal form: A=P-1JP, where P is the change of basis matrix and J is a matrix with the following structure

                      where λ1,...,λn are the eigenvalues of A.

                      Syntax

                      jordan(Matrix)
                      

                      Description

                      Given a matrix, returns the matrix J. If the option transformation_matrix is set to true, the output is a list with J and P.

                      Options

                      Below is a complete list of options that may be used in the jordan function.

                      Option Description Format Default value
                      transformation_matrix We can choose if we want the output of the transformation matrix P or not. {transformation_matrix=true} transformation_matrix=false
                      exact_computations We can choose to perform or not exact computations. {exact_computations=false} true, but depends on the input
