Parameter depending state space descriptions of index-2-matrix polynomials (Q1611834)

By the Laplace transform of a system of differential-algebraic equations (originated from linear electrical networks), a quadratic matrix polynomial \(P\) (with coefficients in \(\mathbb{R}^{n \times n}\) and depending on a parameter vector \(q \in \mathbb{R}^\rho\)) is obtained. The problem of finding a matrix \(A(q)\) and a parameter set \(\Omega\) is studied such that for all \(q \in \Omega\) the eigenvalues of \(A(q)\) coincide with the zeros of the determinant of \(P\). Two algorithms are proposed to solve this problem. Moreover, some basic features and properties of these algorithms are established. Illustrative examples are also presented.
