Wavelet and Linear Algebra

Abstract In this paper we study triangularization of collections of matrices whose entries come from a finite-dimensional division ring. First, we give a generalization of Guralnick's theorem to the case of finite-dimensional division rings and then we show that in this case the reduced trace function is a suitable alternative for trace function by presenting two triangularization results. The first one is a generalization of a result due to Kaplansky and in the second one a triangularizability condition which is dependent on a single element is presented.
