    ABSTRACT:: The solution of the complete eigenvalue problem for a
               non-normal matrix A presents severe practical difficulties
               when A is defective or close to a defective matrix. However
               in the presence of rounding errors one cannot even determine
               whether or not a matrix is defective. Several of the more
               stable methods for computing the Jordan canonical form are
               discussed together with the alternative approach of computing
               well-defined bases (usually orthogonal) of the relevant
               invariant subspaces.
