Let $a,b,c,d,e,f$ be complex numbers. Determine when the complex matrices,
\begin{align*}
A= \begin{pmatrix}
2& 1& b& c\\
0& 2& d& e\\
0& 0& 2& f\\
0& 0& 0& 3\\
\end{pmatrix} \qquad B= \begin{pmatrix}
2& 1& 0& 0\\
0& 2& -1& 0\\
0& 0& 2& 1\\
0& 0& 0& 3\\
\end{pmatrix}
\end{align*}
are similar. Here $A$ and $B$ are said to be similar if there exist an invertible complex matrix $P$ satisfying $P^{-1}AP=B$.
I know that the similar matrices share some same properties. Same determinant, same trace, same eigenvalues, same char. polynomial etc. But in this case, I cannot get a relation between these complex numbers from those properties. So how do we enter the problem?
Idea please.
