i need to know about specially diagonalization, is it orthogonal diagonalization or something different?

I moved this from "introductory physics", because I suppose that this question will get more readily an answer over here.
I myself can't help you, unfortunately. I don't know what "special diagonalisation" is...
 
sad life (I hope I'm not making it sadder), where did you see or hear the phrase "special diagonalization" (or "specially diagonalization")?

thx for ur try vanesch, but u had ur attempt in the applied mathematics critetria, and i have my concern here i "PURE MATHS" section.
