Orthogonal transformation of a trace free symmetric matrix into one with zero diagonal elements. (English) Zbl 0664.73053
We describe an algorithm for the determination of a sequence of n orthogonal transformation which transform a \(n\times n\), trace free, real symmetric matrix into a matrix whose diagonal elements are all zero. Explicit results for the \(3\times 3\) case are given.
