1 In general, for a complex matrix ACm×n, we get unitary UCm×m and VCn×n such that U*AV is a real diagonal matrix.

2 Maximal because you have fixed everything: if you ask for any further properties, you may not find any candidate.

3 An RREF reduction, as in Chap. 4, does not accomplish the same result.
