Diagonalization is a process in linear algebra that transforms a matrix into a diagonal form, making it easier to compute powers and exponentials of the matrix. It is possible when a matrix has enough linearly independent eigenvectors, allowing it to be expressed as a product of its eigenvector matrix, a diagonal matrix of eigenvalues, and the inverse of its eigenvector matrix.

Diagonalization

Linear algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with vector spaces and linear mappings between these spaces, focusing on the study of lines, planes, and subspaces. It is fundamental in various scientific fields, providing tools for solving systems of linear equations, performing transformations, and analyzing vector spaces and matrices.

A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers, symbols, or expressions arranged in rows and columns, which is used in various branches of mathematics and science to represent and solve systems of linear equations, perform linear transformations, and manage data. Understanding matrices is crucial for applications in computer graphics, quantum mechanics, and statistical modeling, among other fields.
