In geometry, it describes the relationship between two or more lines, angles, or shapes that intersect or meet at an angle other than a right angle (90 degrees). In other contexts, diagonality may imply a diagonal or slanting direction, as opposed to a horizontal or vertical one.

Diagonalizable

speak

In linear algebra, a matrix is said to be diagonalizable if it is similar to a diagonal matrix. In other words, there exists an invertible matrix P such that P^{-1}AP is a diagonal matrix. This means that the matrix can be transformed into a diagonal matrix through a change of basis. The diagonal entries of the diagonal matrix are the eigenvalues of the original matrix, and the columns of P are the corresponding eigenvectors.

This is often used to solve systems of linear equations, find eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and calculate determinants.

Diagonalize

speak

To diagonalize a matrix or a linear transformation means to find a way to rewrite it in a simpler form, particularly in a form where the matrix has zeros everywhere except on the principal diagonal (the diagonal from top left to bottom right). This is often done to simplify the computation of powers, exponents, and other operations involving the matrix.
