Matrix representation for transformation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the concept of matrix representation for transformations, specifically addressing the properties of non-similar matrices. It clarifies that two matrices, A and B, being non-similar indicates that there is no matrix P such that P-1AP = B. The participant emphasizes their confidence in their solution approach, which is detailed in their blog. This highlights the importance of understanding matrix similarity in linear algebra.

I see nothing wrong with it. I was at first taken aback that you could do that with non-similar matrices but of course, saying that two matrices, A and B, are not similar only means there does not exist a single matrix, P, such that [itex]P^{-1}AP= B[/itex]. Your Q is not the inverse of P.
