Fillmore's theorem for integer matrices

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Fillmore Theorem says that if A is a nonscalar matrix of order n over a field mathbbF and gamma1,ldots,gammaninmathbbF are such that gamma1+cdots+gamman=exttr,A, then there is a matrix B similar to A with diagonal (gamma1,ldots,gamman). Fillmore proof works by induction on the size of A and implicitly provides an algorithm to construct B. We develop an explicit and extremely simple algorithm that finish in two steps (two similarities), and with its help we extend Fillmore Theorem to integers (if A is integer then we can require to B to be integer).
