The semigroup generated by the similarity class of a singular matrix

Abstract

Let A be a singular matrix of Mn(K), where K is an arbitrary field. Using canonical forms, we give a new proof that the sub-semigroup of (Mn(K),x) generated by the similarity class of A is the set of matrices of Mn(K) with a rank lesser than or equal to that of A.
