This tool helps you find the diagonal form of a given square matrix for easier interpretation and analysis.
How to Use the Diagonalization Calculator
To use this calculator, enter the matrix you want to diagonalize in the input field in the format as described below:
- Comma separated rows, semi-colon separated elements.
- For example, for a 2×2 matrix, you would enter: “1,2; 3,4”.
After entering the matrix, click the ‘Calculate’ button. The result will display two matrices P and T. P is an orthogonal matrix, and T is a diagonal matrix such that PTAP = T.
Explanation of Calculation
The calculator performs the following steps to diagonalize the input matrix:
- Parsing the input matrix into a 2D array structure.
- Applying matrix decomposition to obtain orthogonal matrix P and diagonal matrix T.
Note: The actual decomposition logic is simplified in this calculator. In a full-fledged application, you would typically employ libraries to handle complex linear algebra operations.
Limitations
This calculator has the following limitations:
- Handles only numerical matrices.
- Uses simplified decomposition, not suitable for higher-degree polynomials or highly complex diagonalization tasks.
- Assumes the input matrix is a square matrix.
For accurate and complex diagonalization tasks, consider using specialized math libraries.
