Definition of diagonalizable linear transformation

Created almost 9 years ago, updated about 8 hours ago

A linear operator is diagonalizable over $\mathbb F$ if it admits an ordered basis of eigenvectors over $\mathbb F$. Its matrix in that basis is diagonal. This is equivalent to its matrix in any basis being similar over $\mathbb F$ to a diagonal matrix. The choice of field matters.
