JordanDecomposition
  • JordanDecomposition[ m ] yields the Jordan decomposition of a square matrix m. The result is a list s , j where s is a similarity matrix and j is the Jordan canonical form of m.
  • The original matrix m is equal to s . j . Inverse[s].
  • The matrix m can be either numerical or symbolic.
  • See the Mathematica book: Section 3.7.10.
  • See also: Eigensystem, SingularValues, QRDecomposition, SchurDecomposition, MatrixExp.
