I wonder whether $\{0,1\}$ matrix always diagonalizable? I tried some examples, seems all can be diagonalized. But I seems can not figure out if its algebraic multiplicity is always equal to geometric multiplicity. Could someone help me with it?

And how about $\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0\end{bmatrix}$? All its eigenvalues are $0$, but it is not similar to $\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0\end{bmatrix}$.

    Here is a simple problem: Take all the $2 \times 2$ matrices with entries from ${0,1}$. Of those $16$ matrices, how many of them are diagonalizable? – GEdgar Feb 20 '23 at 14:37
