Exercise 8.B.5
Answers
Proof. Every eigenvector is also a generalized eigenvector, so in the forward direction we can make a similar argument to that of Exercise 3, where the dimensions only fit if each eigenspace equals its corresponding generalized one (because the former is a subset of the latter). The other direction is obvious from 8.23. □
