The Schur decomposition of a square matrix $ M $ is its writing in the following form (also called Schur form): $$ M = Q.T.Q^{-1} $$
with $ Q $ a unitary matrix (such as $ Q^*.Q = I $) and $ T $ is an upper triangular matrix whose diagonal values are the eigenvalues of the matrix.
This decomposition only applies to numerical square matrices (no variables). The matrix T is a trigonalization (or triangulation).
Example: The Schur triangulation of the matrix $ M = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ 2 & 4 \end{bmatrix} $ gives $$ Q = \begin{bmatrix} −0.825 & 0.566 \\ 0.566 & −0.825 \end{bmatrix}, T = \begin{bmatrix} −0.372 & −1 \\ 0 & 5.372 \end{bmatrix} $$
There is always a decomposition of Schur, all matrices are trigonalizable, but not uniquely.
dCode uses computer algorithms involving QR decomposition.
Manually, find a proper vector $ u_1 $ of the matrix $ M $ by calculating its eigenvalues $ \Lambda_i $. Calculate its normalized value and an orthonormal basis $ {u_1, v_2} $ to obtain $ U = [ u_1, v_2 ] $. Express the matrix $ M $ in the orthonormal basis $ A_{{u_1, v_2}} = U^{-1}.A.U = U^{T}.A.U $. Repeat the operation for each eigenvector to obtain the triangular matrix. NB: for a 2x2 matrix, only one operation is necessary and $ T = A_{{u_1, v_2}} $
The Schur decomposition makes it possible to simplify the form of the matrices and thus to facilitate the resolution of linear equations or any other problem using the matrix.
