We are trying to study a linear_operator T on the finite dimensional space V , by decomposing T into a direct_sum of operators which are in some sense elementary .

Let T be a linear_operator on the finite dimensional vector space V over the field F .

If * * f are the projections associated with the primary decomposition of T , then each * * f is a polynomial in T , and accordingly if a linear_operator U commutes with T then U commutes with each of the * * f i.e. , each subspace * * f is invariant under U .

Let N be a linear_operator on the vector space V .

Let T be a linear_operator on the finite dimensional vector space V over the field F .
