Diagonalization

Diagonalization

In mathematics, diagonalization may refer to:

  • Diagonal matrix, which is in a form with nonzero entries only on the main diagonal
  • Diagonalizable matrix, which can be put into a form with nonzero entries only on the main diagonal
  • Diagonal lemma, used to create self-referential sentences in formal logic
  • Diagonal argument (disambiguation), various
  • Cantor's diagonal argument, used to prove that the set of real numbers is not countable
