     In this section, which is not necessary for the following, we elaborate on the Jordanization of M, paying attention successively to the symplectic structure, the 'energy-scaling' block and the 'horizontal-vertical' decomposition...

   • 2005, Javier Ribòn, “Families of diffeomorphisms without periodic curves”, in The Michigan Mathematical Journal, volume 53, number 2, page 244:

     Let us recall here some known results [3; 7] on the "Jordanization" of diffeomorphisms (directly issued from the corresponding ones for vector fields) and on the relationship between unipotent diffeomorphisms and nilpotent vector fields.

   • 2006 January, A.V. Smilga, “Ghost-free higher-derivative theory”, in Physics Letters B, volume 632, number 2-3:

     This will allow us to understand this “Jordanization” phenomenon in very clear terms and prepare us to the analysis of the interacting theory (2)

2. The increase in the influence of Jordan (rather than Palestine) on Iraq.
   • 2014, Joseph Nevo, Jordan in the Middle East, 1948-1988: The Making of Pivotal State:

     In many ways, though, it is an academic issue, as the process of Jordanization was cut short by the June 1967 war.
