Canonical form Definition and 32 Threads

Hello: I'm not sure if there's an accepted canonical form for a quadratic equation in two (or more) variables: $$ax^2+by^2+cxy+dx+ey+f=0$$ Is it the following form? (using the orthogonal matrix Q that diagonalizes the quadratic part): $$ w^TDw+[d \ \ e]w+f=0$$ $$w^TDw+Lw+f=0$$ where $$...

Hi, I found the above observable canonical form using this source: https://www.mathworks.com/help/control/ug/canonical-state-space-realizations.html#mw_a76b9bac-e8fd-4d0e-8c86-e31e657471cc I'm almost certain that I did do it correctly. But the code below gives me different values for B, C...

Hi, I was recently being taught a control theory course and was going through a 'derivation' of the controllable canonical form. I have a question about a certain step in the process. Question: Why does the coefficient ## b_0 ## in front of the ## u(t) ## mean that the output ## y(t) = b_0 y_1...

I am reading Spacetime and Geometry : An Introduction to General Relativity – by Sean M Carroll and he writes: Quote: A useful characterisation of the metric is obtained by putting ##g_{\mu\nu}## into its canonical form. In this form the metric components become $$ g_{\mu\nu} = \rm{diag} (-1...

Hello everyone, I actually had a problem with understanding the part where they have defined L'AL = Λ. There, they have taken γΛγ1 = Σy2λ = 1. Why have they taken that? Is it arbitary or does it come as a result of a derivation? Thank you

Hello! (Wave) A linear programming problem is in canonical form if it's of the following form: $$\pm \max (c_1 x_1+ \dots + c_n x_n) , c_1, \dots, c_n \in \mathbb{R} \\ Ax=b, A \in F^{m \times n}, x=\begin{bmatrix} x_1\\ \dots\\ \dots \\ x_n \end{bmatrix}, b=\begin{bmatrix} b_1\\ \dots\\...

I just finished a course on linear algebra which ended with Jordan Canonical Forms. There were many statements like "Jordan canonical forms are extremely useful," etc. However, we only learned a process to put things into Jordan canonical form, and that was it. What makes Jordan canonical...

Hello, What is the most general cylindrically symmetric line element in the canonical form? Best regards.

I have to prove the following result: Let A,B be two n×n matrices over the field F and A,B have the same characteristic and minimal polynomials. If no eigenvalue has algebraic multiplicity greater than 3, then A and B are similar. I have to use the following result: If A,B are...

I'm trying to put a matrix into RCF, and I keep running into problems. I've checked my work a few times, so I think I must be making a conceptual error. Here's what I've got: $$A=\left( \begin{matrix}2 & -2 & 14 \\ 0 & 3 & -7 \\ 0 & 0 & 2\end{matrix}\right)\quad \text{ so }\quad xI-A=\left(...

I am trying to make this into jordan canonical form. How can I box in the bottom two lambdas? $$ \left[\begin{array}{ccc} \begin{array}{cccc|} \lambda & 1 & 0 & \\ & \lambda & 1 & 0\\ & & \lambda & 1\\ & & & \lambda\\\hline \end{array} & & \\ & \begin{array}{c|} \lambda\\\hline \end{array}...

As I understand, a Markov chain transition matrix rewritten in its canonical form is a large matrix that can be separated into quadrants: a zero matrix, an identity matrix, a transient to absorbing matrix, and a transient to transient matrix. The zero matrix and identity matrix parts are easy...

Okay I want to be clear, this is not an homework question. But I have a hard time understanding the concept of what I'm going to show you. The teacher goes way to fast for me, honestly, and when we ask a question it's just like he doesn't want to take the time to make us understand, kinda...

could someone please explain briefly what the problem is with my method of finding such canonical forms. The method we've been taught is to find the canonical form by performing double row/column operations on the matrix representation of quadratic form until we get to a diagonal matrix, and...

Does anybody know of any good websites that contain a clear proof of the existence of the Jordan Canonical Form of matrices? My professor really confused me today

I've followed and understood this small example of calculating jordan forms all the way to the last line where they say "Therefore, the jordan form is...". When they say "therefore", it's NEVER obvious :smile: Anyway, I get why the diagonal entries are -1. And that a minimal polynomial (t+1)^2...
