In mathematics, the Gelfand–Zeitlin system (also written Gelfand–Zetlin system, Gelfand–Cetlin system, Gelfand–Tsetlin system) is an integrable system on conjugacy classes of Hermitian matrices. It was introduced by , who named it after the Gelfand–Zeitlin basis, an early example of canonical basis, introduced by Israel Gelfand and Michael Tsetlin in 1950s. introduced a complex version of this integrable system.
