Step 1
Let, the rank of (A3I) is 1. A matrix is diagonalizable if for each eigen value λ, the rank r of the matrix
(A3I)=n-the multiplicity of λ , where n= size of the matrix
Step 2
A n×n matrix A is diagonalizable if it is similar to a diagonal matrix, that is, if there exists an invertible n×n matrix c and a diagonal matrix D such that A=CDC1
Example:
A=[100050006]=I3[100050006]I31
Ay diagonal matrix A is diagonalizable as it is similar to itself.
Step 3
If the matrix is not diagonalizable, the one has to find a matrix with same properties consisting of eigen values on the leading diagonal and either ones or zeros on the super diagonal.
