LieAlgebras[MatrixCentralizer] - find the matrix centralizer of a list of matrices

Calling Sequences

     MatrixCentralizer(M)

Parameters

     M   - a list of square matrices, each of the same dimension

 

Description

Examples

Description

• 

The centralizer of a set of matrices M is the Lie algebra of matrices which commute with all the matrices in M.

• 

A list of matrices defining a basis for the centralizer of M is returned.

• 

The command MatrixCentralizer is part of the DifferentialGeometry:-LieAlgebras package.  It can be used in the form MatrixCentralizer(...) only after executing the commands with(DifferentialGeometry) and with(LieAlgebras), but can always be used by executing DifferentialGeometry:-LieAlgebras:-MatrixCentralizer(...).
