Abstract

Some properties of a transitive fuzzy matrix are examined and the canonical form of the transitive matrix is given using the properties. As a special case an open problem concerning idempotent matrices of Kim and Roush is solved. In our results a nilpotent matrix and a symmetric matrix play an important role. We decompose a transitive matrix into the sum of a nilpotent matrix and a symmetric matrix. Then we obtain a canonical form of the transitive matrix.
