Abstract

We study sums of kk-potent matrices. We show the conditions by which a complex matrix AA can be expressed as a sums of kk-potent matrices. Also we obtain conditions by which a complex matrix AA can be expressed as a sum of finite order elements. This generalize some results obtain by Wu. Also we study the sum of kk-potent matrices in MCf(F)\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal{C}f}(F) with FF be a field and proof that any matrix in this space can be expressed as a sum of 1414 (k+1)(k+1)-potent matrices preserving the result obtain by Slowik.
