✦ Synopsis


It is shown that a square matrix A over an arbitrary field F is a sum of two diagonalizable matrices, except when F = GF(2), in which case A is a sum of three diagonalizable matrices. The extent to which the ranks of the summands can be prescribed over an infinite field is also investigated, and necessary and sufficient conditions are presented.

Let 0: denote a field such that char(F) ~ 2. It is shown that every square matrix over 0: is expressible as a product of two diagonalizable matrices, except when 0: = GF(3), in which case three diagonalizable matrices are needed in general. Partial results for the case where char(F) = 2 is also pres
