The purpose of this note is to advertise an elegant algorithmic proof for the Jordan--Chevalley decomposition of a matrix, following and (slightly) revising the discussion of Couty, Esterle und Zarouf (2011). The basic idea of that method…
We introduce some basic notions and results for quaternionic linear operators analogous to those for complex linear operators. Our main result is to prove the additive and multiplicative Jordan-Chevalley decompositions for quaternionic…
We give a classification of Jordan-Chevalley decompositions of an endomorphism of a finite-dimensional vector space over a not necessarily perfect field, i.e. additive decompositions into commuting semisimple and nilpotent endomorphisms.
The purpose of this paper is to point the effectiveness of the Jordan-Chevalley decomposition, i.e. the decomposition of a square matrix $U$ with coefficients in a field $k$ containing the eigenvalues of $U$ as a sum $U=D+N,$ where $D$ is a…
The Jordan Canonical Form of a matrix is highly sensitive to perturbations, and its numerical computation remains a formidable challenge. This paper presents a regularization theory that establishes a well-posed least squares problem of…
We provide a discussion of Jordan decompositions in the Lie algebra, and the dual Lie algebra, of a reductive group in as uniform a way as possible. We give a counterexample to the claim that Jordan decompositions on the dual Lie algebra…
We take matrix decompositions that are usually applied to matrices over the real numbers or complex numbers, and extend them to matrices over an algebra called the double numbers. In doing so, we unify some matrix decompositions: For…
In this note, we explore the connections between the confluent Vandermonde matrix over an arbitrary field and several mathematical topics, including interpolation polynomials, Hasse derivatives, LU factorization, companion matrices and…
A square matrix $A$ has the usual Jordan canonical form that describes the structure of $A$ via eigenvalues and the corresponding Jordan blocks. If $A$ is a linear relation in a finite-dimensional linear space ${\mathfrak H}$ (i.e., $A$ is…
We explore Jordan derivations of triangular matrices with entries from an additively idempotent semiring. The main result states that for any matrix A over additively idempotent semiring, if we put all the elements of the family of dense…
In this work, new closed-form formulas for the matrix exponential are provided. Our method is direct and elementary, it gives tractable and manageable formulas not current in the extensive literature on this essential subject. Moreover,…
The question of matrix similarity is a classical one in linear algebra. For a field $\mathbb{F}$ and some positive integer $n \in \mathbb{N}$, one may consider the following problems: 1. Given two matrices $A, B \in \mathrm{GL}(n,…
Determining the Jordan canonical form of the tensor product of Jordan blocks has many applications including to the representation theory of algebraic groups, and to tilting modules. Although there are several algorithms for computing this…
We classify decompositions of simple special finite-dimensional Jordan superalgebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero into the sum of two proper simple subsuperalgebras.
This is a note of purely didactical purpose as the proof of the Jordan measure decomposition is often omitted in the related literature. Elementary proofs are provided for the existence, the uniqueness, and the minimality property of the…
The aim of this article is to start a study of Jordan derivations in finite endomorphism semirings.
This is an introduction to advanced linear algebra, with emphasis on geometric aspects, and with some applications included too. We first review basic linear algebra, notably with the spectral theorem in its general form, and with the…
Although there are many simple proofs of Jordan's decomposition theorem in the literature (see [1], the references mentioned there, and [2]), our proof seems to be even more elementary. In fact, all we need is the theorem on the dimensions…
The notion of a topological Jordan decomposition of a compact element of a reductive p-adic group has proven useful in many contexts. In this paper, we generalise it to groups defined over fairly general discretely-valued fields and prove…
This note discusses an interesting matrix factorization called the CUR Decomposition. We illustrate various viewpoints of this method by comparing and contrasting them in different situations. Additionally, we offer a new characterization…
