Linear algebraic methods for block factorization for matrix representation?

54 Views Asked by At

Let us assume I have a matrix representation for an algebraic group.

Do there exist linear algebraic algorithms to simultaneous block factorization like this:

$$\bf M_i = SC_iS^{-1}$$

Where $\bf M_i$ is representation matrix for element $i$ and so the $\bf C_i$ correspond to group operation on element $i$ in irreducible representation (maximally "squeezed" diagonal block-matrices)?
