The four matrices LoUoL1U1 at the end of the title are triangular with ones on their main diagonals. Their product has determinant one. Following a question and theorem of Toffoli, we show that any matrix with determinant one can be factored in this way. A transformation of the plane becomes a seque

โฆ Synopsis
We show that every n ร n complex nonderogatory matrix is similar to a unique unit upper Hessenberg Toeplitz matrix. The proof is constructive, and can be adapted to nonderogatory matrices with entries in any ยฎeld of characteristic zero or characteristic greater than n. We also prove that every n ร n complex matrix with n T 4 is similar to a Toeplitz matrix.

We call an n X n matrix a shear if it is triangular with all l's on the diagonal, and a unit matrix if it has unit determinant. Earlier we had shown that, for n = 3, every orthogonal matrix (except for degenerate cases when one of the Euler angles equals rr) can be written in the form U,,LU,, where
It is shown that every n ร n matrix over a field of characteristic zero is a linear combination of three idempotent matrices. It is proved that both 2 ร 2 matrices and complex 3 ร 3 matrices are linear combinations of two idempotents. Also we present 3 ร 3 and 4 ร 4 matrices that are not linear comb
