An Algebraic Approach to Nonorthogonal General Joint Block Diagonalization

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: The exact/approximate non-orthogonal general joint block diagonalization ({sc nogjbd}) problem of a given real matrix set mathcalA=Aii=1m is to find a nonsingular matrix WinmathbbRnimesn (diagonalizer) such that WTAiW for i=1,2,dots,m are all exactly/approximately block diagonal matrices with the same diagonal block structure and with as many diagonal blocks as possible. In this paper, we show that a solution to the exact/approximate {sc nogjbd} problem can be obtained by finding the exact/approximate solutions to the system of linear equations AiZ=ZTAi for i=1,dots,m, followed by a block diagonalization of Z via similarity transformation. A necessary and sufficient condition for the equivalence of the solutions to the exact {sc nogjbd} problem is established. Two numerical methods are proposed to solve the {sc nogjbd} problem, and numerical examples are presented to show the merits of the proposed methods.
