Canonical form with respect to semiscalar equivalence for a matrix pencil with nonsingular first matrix

  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

Polynomial n × n matrices A(x) and B(x) over a field \( \mathbb{F} \) are called semiscalar equivalent if there exist a nonsingular n × n matrix P over \( \mathbb{F} \) and an invertible n × n matrix Q(x) over \( \mathbb{F} \)[x] such that A(x) = PB(x)Q(x). We give a canonical form with respect to semiscalar equivalence for a matrix pencil A(x) = A 0x - A 1, where A 0 and A 1 are n × n matrices over \( \mathbb{F} \), and A 0 is nonsingular.
