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 .

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 .

We have just observed that we can write * * f where D is diagonalizable and N is nilpotent , and where D and N not_only commute but are polynomials in T .

Since D ' and N ' commute with one another and * * f , we see that D ' and N ' commute with T .

Since D ' and N ' commute with one another and * * f , we see that D ' and N ' commute with T .
