Similarity invariants for pairs of upper triangular Toeplitz matrices (Q752135)

The type of matrix A is \(\alpha\), if A can be written as \(A=a_{\alpha}J^{\alpha}+a_{\alpha +1}J^{\alpha +1}+...,\) where \(a_{\alpha}\neq 0\), J is an upper triangular nilpotent \(m\times m\) Jordan block. The following problem is investigated: Let A and Z be matrices of type \(\alpha\) and \(\omega\), respectively. Under what conditions (on \(\alpha\) and \(\omega\)) does there exist an invertible matrix U such that \(U^{-1}AU=J^{\alpha},\quad U^{- 1}ZU=J^{\omega}\).
