Diagonalization without computing the inverse

Is there a way to find A = PDP^-1 but without computing the inverse of P?

If PP^-1equal to identity matrix, can I say A = ID ?

Calculate the normalised eigenvectors of your matrix and make these eigenvectors the columns of a new matrix U. Now calculate U^T * P * U using matrix multiplication and then you will obtain a diagonalised matrix with the eigenvalues of P as the entries on the diagonal.

NB: U^T is U-transpose.
