Jordan matrix
In the mathematical discipline of matrix theory, a Jordan matrix, named after Camille Jordan, is a block diagonal matrix over a ring R (whose identities are the zero 0 and one 1), where each block along the diagonal, called a Jordan block, has the following form: Every Jordan block is specified by its dimension n and its eigenvalue , and is denoted as Jλ,n. It is an matrix of zeroes everywhere except for the diagonal, which is filled with and for the superdiagonal, which is composed of ones.
