Semisimple operator

In the context of linear algebra and functional analysis, a **semisimple operator** is an important concept that relates specifically to a linear operator on a finite-dimensional vector space. An operator \( T \) on a finite-dimensional vector space \( V \) is termed **semisimple** if it can be diagonalized, meaning that there exists a basis of \( V \) consisting of eigenvectors of \( T \).
