Abstract
A general J-Hermitian matrix A may not have a basis of eigenvectors. In this chapter we describe the reduction to a block-diagonal form by a similarity transformation S -1 AS. We pay particular attention to the problem of the condition number of the transformation matrix S which is a key quantity in any numerical manipulation.
