I've read : "Let $A$ be a matrix of which the similarity class is closed. Let $D = Diag(1,2,\dots, n)$. Since $[D^k A D^{-k}]_{i,j} = \left({i\over j}\right)^k a_{i,j}$ goes to $Diag(a_{1,1}, \dots, a_{n, n})$ as $k$ goes to infinity, by hypothesis we have that $A$ can be digonalised."
Is it not a blunder to say that $D^k A D^{-k}$ converges to $Diag(a_{1,1}, \dots, a_{n, n})$ since for $i\gt j$, the terms diverge ?
