Step 1
If the matrices A and B are not similar, then their eigenvalues are not the same.
Step 2
Consider the matrix A and find its eigenvalues as follows.
A=[101202303]
|AλI|=0
|[101202303]λ[100010001]|=0
|1λ012λ2303λ|=0
(1λ)(λ)(3λ)0+1(0+3λ)=0
λ3+4λ2=0
λ(λ2+4λ)=0
λ(λ24λ)=0
λ(λ)(λ4)=0
λ1=0,λ2=0,λ3=4
Consider the matrix B and find its eigenvalues as follows.
B=[110220011]
|BλI|=0
|[110220011]λ[100010001]|=0
|1λ1022λ0011λ|=0
(1λ)(2λ)(1λ)1(2(1λ))+0=0
λ3+4λ23λ=0
λ(λ2+4λ3)=0
λ(λ24λ+3)=0
λ(λ1)(λ3)=0
λ1=0,λ2=1,λ3=3
Observe that the eigenvalues of the matrices A and B are not the same and thus these matrices are not similar.
