It is well known that a set of non-defect matrices can be simultaneously diagonalized if and only if the matrices commute. In the case of non-commuting matrices, the best that can be achieved is simultaneous block diagonalization. Here we…

We provide a solution to the problem of simultaneous $diagonalization$ $via$ $congruence$ of a given set of $m$ complex symmetric $n\times n$ matrices $\{A_{1},\ldots,A_{m}\}$, by showing that it can be reduced to a possibly…
It is shown that, in four dimensions, it is possible to introduce coordinates so that an analytic metric locally takes block diagonal form. i.e. one can find coordinates such that $g_{\alpha\beta} = 0$ for $(\alpha, \beta) \in S$ where $S =…

A hermitian matrix can be parametrized by a set consisting of its determinant and the eigenvalues of its submatrices. We established a group of equations which connect these variables with the mixing parameters of diagonalization. These…
Two methods to decompose block matrices analogous to Singular Matrix Decomposition are proposed, one yielding the so called economy decomposition, and other yielding the full decomposition. This method is devised to avoid handling matrices…
This article studies canonical forms derived from the finest simultaneous block diagonalization of a set of symmetric matrices via congruence. Our technique relies on Harrison's center theory, which is extended from a single higher degree…
A partial matrix is a matrix where only some of the entries are given. We determine the maximum rank of the symmetric completions of a symmetric partial matrix where only the diagonal blocks are given and the minimum rank and the maximum…
The diagonalization of general mass matrices is a more delicate problem when eigenvalue degeneracies exist. In this case, often overlooked in the literature, some difficulties arise related to the freedom in the choice of basis in…
We survey recent progress on efficient algorithms for approximately diagonalizing a square complex matrix in the models of rational (variable precision) and finite (floating point) arithmetic. This question has been studied across several…
This paper presents a parametrization of a degenerate density matrix. The problem needs to be approached first with a diagonalized form (the spectral representation) to deal with degeneracy. Such a form is useful for this parametrization in…
Every commuting set of normal matrices with entries in an AW*-algebra can be simultaneously diagonalized. To establish this, a dimension theory for properly infinite projections in AW*-algebras is developed. As a consequence, passing to…
We first obtain the most general and compact parametrization of the unitary transformation diagonalizing any 3 by 3 hermitian matrix H, as a function of its elements and eigenvalues. We then study a special class of fermion mass matrices,…
