Finding triples (a,b,c) so that characteristic and minimal polynomials are different












1












$begingroup$


I got to find all complex triple $(a,b,c)$ so that the following matrix has different characteristic and minimal polynomial.begin{bmatrix}2&0&0\a&2&0\b&c&-1\end{bmatrix}



Certainly the eigenvalues are 2,2,-1.
Hence the characteristic and minimal polynomials are same if they are $(x-2)^2(x+1)$. And the JCF would be
$ begin{bmatrix}2&0&0\1&2&0\0&0&-1\end{bmatrix}$.



And the characteristic and minimal polynomials would be different if the minimal polynomial would be $(x-2)(x+1)$ and the JCF would be $ begin{bmatrix}2&0&0\0&2&0\0&0&-1\end{bmatrix}$.



Now how to find all the complex triples which works in the second case i.e. the minimal polynomial is $(x+1)(x-2)$.

    So you want $(A-I)(A-2I)$ to be the zero transformation. This should give you some conditions on $a,b,c$.

Since you edited the problem, so things will change.



Consider the matrix
$$(A+I)(A-2I)=begin{bmatrix}3&0&0\a&3&0\b&c&0end{bmatrix}begin{bmatrix}0&0&0\a&0&0\b&c&-3end{bmatrix}=begin{bmatrix}0&0&0\3a&0&0\ac&0&0\end{bmatrix}$$
With $a=0$, we can have a zero transformation, while $b,c$ can be any numbers.
