Unitary transformation to triangularize 2 matrices at the same time

47 Views Asked by At

I am trying to show that: Given 2 complex non-singular matrices $A$ and $B$, there exist two unitary matrices $Q$ and $Z$ s.t. $Q^*AZ$ and $Q^*BZ$ are simultaneously upper triangular.

Thank for your help.

If you need a proof of this statement, it can be found in the paper G.W. Stewart, On the Sensitivity of the Eigenvalue Problem A x= Bx, SIA M J. Numer. Anal. 9, 1972, 669-686, Theorem 3.1.
