126 (2001) MATHEMATICA BOHEMICA No. 1‚ 237–246 BLOCK DIAGONALIZATION J. J. Koliha‚ Melbourne (Received June 15‚ 1999) Abstract. We study block diagonalization of matrices induced by resolutions of the unit matrix into the sum of idempotent matrices. We show that the block diagonal matrices have disjoint spectra if and only if each idempotent matrix in the inducing resolution double commutes with the given matrix. Applications include a new characterization of an eigenprojection

Grant and Lee Throughout the course of my history career‚ which is not very long‚ teachers and professors have always focused on the point that General Grant was a butchering alcoholic who won the war solely on the account of his stubborn personality.
