| Abstract: | Two n × n complex matrices A and B are said to be consimilar if S-1 AS = B for some nonsingular n × n complex matrix S. This paper, by means of real representation of a complex matrix, studies problems of reducing a given n × n complex matrix A to triangular or diagonal form by consimilarity, not only gives necessary and sufficient conditions for contriangularization and condiagonalization of a complex matrix, but also derives an algebraic technique of reducing a matrix to triangular or diagonal form by consimilarity. |
