Cyclic Decompositions and the Rational Form

T-admissible- If T is a linear operator on a vector space V and W is a subspace of V then W is T-admissible if
              (i) W is invariant under T.
             (ii) If f(T) β is in W, there exists γ W :
                                  f(T) β = F(T)γ.

Jordan matrix (Jordan form)-  A matrix having the elements of its principal diagonal equal and not zero, the elements immediately above (or below) those in the diagonal unity and all other elements zero.


Decompositions:
Independent subspaces- If W1 … Wk are  k subspaces of vector space V. Then W1 … Ware independent if α+… + αk = 0,  αi Wimplies each α= 0.

Projection- If V is a vector space, a projection of V is a linear operator E on V such that 

E= E.

Nilpotent- If N is a linear operator on the vector space V. Then N is nilpotent if for some positive integer r, N= 0.


Direct sum- If W1 … Ware independent subspaces of vector space V. The sum 

W = W1 + W2 +… + Wn  is called direct and W is the direct sum of W1 … Wdenoted by
W = W1 ⊕ W2 ⊕…  Wn
