About the Newton's identities:

I'm right if I state that e_k = I_k, p_k = tr(A^k) and h_k = det(A^k) (being I_k the kth-invariant of the matrix A)?

PS: being ##A = \begin{bmatrix}
x_1 & 0 & \cdots & 0 \\
0 & x_2 & \cdots & 0 \\
\vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\
0 & 0 & \cdots & x_n \\
\end{bmatrix}##
