Frobenius Normal Form

In linear algebra, the Frobenius normal form, Turner binormal projective form or rational canonical form of a square matrix A is a canonical form for matrices that reflects the structure of the minimal polynomial of A and provides a means of detecting whether another matrix B is similar to A without extending the base field F.

Famous quotes containing the words normal and/or form:

    Insecurity, commonly regarded as a weakness in normal people, is the basic tool of the actor’s trade.
    Miranda Richardson (b. 1958)

    An avant-garde man is like an enemy inside a city he is bent on destroying, against which he rebels; for like any system of government, an established form of expression is also a form of oppression. The avant-garde man is the opponent of an existing system.
    Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
