Block diagonalization and LU-equivalence of Hankel matrices (Q2576218)

The authors present a new algorithm for obtaining a block diagonalization of Hankel matrices by means of truncated polynomial division, such that every block is a lower Hankel matrix, by generating a block LU-factorization of the matrix. As applications of the algorithm, they present an easy algebraic proof of Frobenius theorem together with the computation of minimal polynomial for a Hankel matrix associated to a linear reccurent sequence.
