On solvents and Lagrange interpolating \(\lambda\)-matrices (Q1097332)

Let \(A(\lambda)=\Sigma A_ i\lambda^{m-i}\) be a complex \(\lambda\)- matrix, R be an \(n\times n\) complex matrix satisfying \(A(R)=\Sigma A_ iR^{m-i}=0\), then R is called a right solvent. Let J be the Jordan form of R, \(\bar A=(J^{m-i})^ T\otimes A_ i,\) it is shown that R is a solvent of A(\(\lambda)\) iff \(\bar A\) is rank deficient. Let \(\{R_ 1,...,R_ m\}\) be a set of solvents of A(\(\lambda)\), the interpolating \(\lambda\)-matrices of A(\(\lambda)\) are the \(\lambda\)-matrices of degree m-1 satisfying \(M_ i(R_ j)=\delta_{ij}I.\) Let \(\bar A^{(j)}=I\otimes R^ m_ j+\sum^{m}_{i=1}A^ T_ i\otimes R_ j^{m-i}.\) The authors prove that A(\(\lambda)\) has a set of interpolating \(\lambda\)-matrices iff the rank deficiency of \[ \left[ \begin{matrix} I & ... & I \\ A^{(1)}& ... &0 \\ & \ddots \\ 0& ... & A^{(m)} \end{matrix}\right] \] is exactly 1.
