Recall that similarity of matrices is an equivalence relation, that is, the relation is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive. Verify that A is similar to itself by finding T such that A = T-AT.
T =
[ ]
We know that A and B are similar since A = PBP, where P =
[ ]
Verify that B ~ A by finding an S such that B = S-1AS.
S =
[ ]
We also know that B and C are similar since B = QCQ, where Q =
[ ]
Verify that A ~ C by finding an R such that A = R-1CR.
R =
[ ]
