I expect there to be a well hidden way to do it in version 10. That is to say, it will not be in System` context. ControlTheory`, perhaps. That's for the polynomial version. I need to check whether we will also have the integer version there. > > > > Daniel Lichtblau > > Wolfram Research Thank you Daniel! I got it working. Is there anyway to coax P^(-1)AP = R (R = rational canonical form) from this? Thanks
