O'Meara, John Clark, Charles I. VinsonhalerNew York Oxford University Press20111 online resource (423 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-19-979373-5 Includes bibliographical references and index.Background linear algebra -- The Weyr form -- Centralizers -- The module setting -- Gerstenhaber's theorem -- Approximate simultaneous diagonalization -- Algebraic varieties.The Weyr matrix canonical form is a largely unknown cousin of the Jordan canonical form. Discovered by Eduard Weyr in 1885, the Weyr form outperforms the Jordan form in a number of mathematical situations, yet it remains somewhat of a mystery, even to many who are skilled in linear algebra. Written in an engaging style, this book presents various advanced topics in linear algebra linked through the Weyr form. Kevin O'Meara, John Clark, and Charles Vinsonhaler develop the Weyr form from scratch and include an algorithm for computing it. A fascinating duality exists between the Weyr form and theAlgebras, LinearElectronic books.Algebras, Linear.512/.5O'Meara Kevin C984777Clark John103722Vinsonhaler Charles Irvin1942-984778MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457240903321Advanced topics in linear algebra2250284UNINA
