The aforementioned method wants to explain the analytical solution of a matrix system of differential equations. Taking into consideration the system Equation (15), the matrix A is a squared matrix n x n, with n = 12. It exists an invertible matrix P such as J = P−1.A.P where J is the Jordan normal form.[35–40] According to[41–43], it corresponds to a generalization of the diagonalization procedure where a diagonalizable matrix is a particular case. Thus, any squared matrix has a Jordan normal form.[44] Therefore, Equation (15) becomes:
