linear algebra - Does same characteristic polynomial and same rank imply similar?




Are two matrices with the same characteristic polynomial and the same rank necessarily similar? Where can I find the proof for such a thing?


Answer



The matrices



I=(1001)andA=(1101)
have the same characteristic polynomial (x1)2 and are both full rank but they are not similar since the identity matrix I is only similar to itself.
