Hello, I have a simple problem : I need to compute the following matrices B, S and S-1 such as : -1 A = S B S where A is a 9 x 9 matrix containing symbolic variables, B is the diagonal matrix corresponding to A. I would like to use Mathematica for this problem but I don't know which functions I have to use, would you have a script for that ? Best regards, Fabien Coutel. ~ -- +---------------------+---------------------------------------+ | Fabien Coutel | coutel at earthsciences.uq.edu.au | +---------------------+---------------------------------------+ | Organization: | | QUAKES | | Department of Earth Sciences | | The University of Queensland | | 4072 QLD | | Brisbane Tel: (61 7) 3365 4853 | | Australia fax: (61 7) 3365 7347 | | (61 7) 3365 1277 | | http://shake2.earthsciences.uq.edu.au/~coutel | +-------------------------------------------------------------+ |"I cudnt unnerstand a wurd he sed ... must be from some farn | | country." | +-------------------------------------------------------------
