What is the difference between putting a matrix in Jordan normal form and diagonalising a matrix?
Isn't a diagonal matrix in Jordan normal form?
i.e what is the difference between the questions:
Find matrices [itex]J[/itex] and [itex]P[/itex] where [itex]J[/itex] is in Jordan normal form and [itex]P[/itex] is invertible, such that [itex]A=PJP^{-1}[/itex]
Find matrices [itex]D[/itex] and [itex]P[/itex] where [itex]D[/itex] is diagonal and [itex]P[/itex] is invertible, such that [itex]A=PDP^{-1}[/itex]
