摘要
We prove an inequality relating the number of nontrivial invariant factors of n x it matrices A and B, with those of AB, and get some results on the cases of equality. In particular, we characterize the similarity classes, 4 and 2, with all eigenvalues in the base field, such that AB is nilpotent for some A epsilon A and B epsilon B. (c) 2004 Elsevier Inc.
