jordanForm -- Jordan canonical form

Synopsis

• Usage:

  jordanForm(A)

• Inputs:
  • A, a square matrix.
• Optional inputs:
  • Tolerance => ..., default value .001, numerical tolerance.
• Outputs:
  • chBasMatr, the matrix that transforms A in Jordan form.
  • sepEigen, the generalized eigenvectors.
  • eigNrep, the eigenvalues of the matrix A.
  • algMult, the algebraic multiplicity of each eigenvalue.
  • jorFor, the Jordan form of A.
