What is Jordan matrix?

Answer from AI
Jordan matrix — is a special type of square matrix used in linear algebra to represent a linear operator in canonical form. It consists of Jordan blocks — upper-triangular matrices with eigenvalues on the diagonal, ones on the superdiagonal, and zeros elsewhere.
This decomposition simplifies working with matrices, especially when the matrix is not diagonalizable. In machine learning and AI, Jordan form can be used to analyze matrix properties, for example, when studying system stability or solving differential equations.
An example of a Jordan block for an eigenvalue λ:
[λ 1 0 ... 0]
[0 λ 1 ... 0]
[0 0 λ ... 0]
[.............]
[0 0 0 ... λ]
