An square matrix $A$ for which the characteristic polynomial and minimal polynomial coincide (up to a factor $\pm1$). Equivalently, for each of its distinct eigenvalues $\lambda$ there is, in the Jordan normal form for $A$, only one Jordan block with that eigenvalue $\lambda$. A matrix that is not non-derogatory is said to derogatory.
