Hello,
it's been a while since i did linear algebra. i need some help. I have this matrix:
1 1 0
0 1 0
0 0 0.
I know the eigenvalues are 1,1,0; and that the eigenvectors will be: (1,0,0), (0,0,0) and (0,0,1). But I cannot do the jordan decomposition on the matrix i.e. write it in the form: P M P^-1. Where P is the matrix made up of eigenvectors, M is a diagonal matrix containing the eigenvalues: 1,1,0.
My main interest however, is in finding the matrix exponent of
1-2i 1+3i 0
0 1-2i 0
0 0 0.
If I can diagonalize the first matrix, I should be able to use the same method to diagonalize/jordan decompose this matrix so that i can find the matrix exponent.
Thanks for any help.
