Abstract

We prove that if F\mathbb{F} is a field of positive odd characteristic p,p, and m,m, and nn are positive integers such that m2,m\geq2, and np,n\leq p, every n×nn\times n nonderogatory matrix AMn(F)A\in \mathbb{M}_n(\mathbb{F}) which is sum of mm idempotents and a nilpotent, has a decomposition A=E1+E2++Em+V,A=E_1+E_2+\dots+E_m+V, such that Ei2=Ei,E_i^2=E_i, for every i{1,,m},i\in \{1,\dots,m\}, and V[p2m]+2=0.V^{[\frac{p-2}{m}]+2}=0.
