**Problem Statement:**For the following nilpotent matrix \( A \), compute its Jordan canonical form.\[ A = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 3 & -1 & 2 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ -0.5 & -1 & 0.5 & -1 \end{pmatrix} \]**Explanation and Methodology:**To find the Jordan canonical form of a nilpotent matrix, we first need to determine its eigenvalues and corresponding Jordan blocks. For a nilpotent matrix, all eigenvalues are zero. The size and number of Jordan blocks are determined by the sizes of the chains of generalized eigenvectors.**Steps to Find the Jordan Canonical Form:**1. **Eigenvalues:** Since \( A \) is nilpotent, its eigenvalue is 0.2. **Find the Kernel and Generalized Kernel:** - \( \text{Ker}(A) \) - \( \text{Im}(A) \) - Higher powers of \( A \) may be used to find the chain of generalized eigenvectors.3. **Construct Jordan Blocks:** - Determine the sizes of Jordan blocks from the dimensions of kernels and generalized kernels of powers of \( A \).The result will be a matrix \( J \) where the main diagonal has zeros, and each Jordan block is filled with 1's on the super-diagonal.**Conclusion:**After calculating, you'd find that the Jordan canonical form of matrix \( A \) is block diagonal, with each block corresponding to a chain of generalized eigenvectors.
