Schur decomposition
If is a complex square matrix![]()
of order n (i.e. ), then there exists a unitary matrix
![]()
such that
where is the conjugate transpose![]()
, (the are eigenvalues
![]()
of ), and is strictly upper triangular matrix
![]()
. Furthermore, can be chosen such that the eigenvalues appear in any order along the diagonal. [GVL]
