The following: SchurDecomposition[{{-5.0 + 0.0 I, 7.0, 6.0, -3.0}, {2.0, -8.0, 3.0, 9.0}, {7.0, 1.0, 2.0, -7.0}, {3.0, 4.0, 4.0, 4.0}}] returns a triangular decomposition, if you'd rather save yourself the work of searching for and computing the eigenvalues of 2x2 blocks. > Jeremy Watts wrote: >> why upon entering :- >> >> SchurDecomposition[{{-5.0, 7.0, 6.0, -3.0}, {2.0, -8.0, 3.0, 9.0}, >> {7.0, >> 1.0, 2.0, -7.0}, {3.0, 4.0, 4.0, 4.0}}] >> does mathematica return a 'T matrix' that is not upper triangular? >> >> some the eigenvalues are complex, so is it because these >> eigenvalues reside >> along the diagonal of 'T' in 2x2 blocks? > Regards, Ssezi
