When a matrix A is diagonalizable, we usually write it as the following form
for the sake of mathematical reasoning.
A = P^(-1) Q P

I am hoping to know, when a SQUARE matrix B is NOT diagonalizable, what
technique should we usually employ in mathematical simplification? Single
value decomposation (SVD) or other techniques?

Thank you very much for your attention and helpful suggestions.
