Homework Statement
SUppose A and B are nxn matrices in the complex field and that A is unitarily similar to B.
Homework Equations
Show that Ak is unitarily similar to Bk for all k=1,2,3,..
The Attempt at a Solution
I used induction to show its true for k=1 which it is.
Then for k=n+1,
An+1=(U*)n+1Bn+1Un+1
AnA=(Un)*(U*)B(Bn)UnU.
That is as far as i got, any help?
