On the resolvent approach to the spectral decomposition of a regular matrix pencil (Q2640668)

The author presents the following: A simple approach to the Weierstrass canonical form of the regular matrix pencil sE-A based on the partial fraction decomposition of the ``generalized resolvent'' \((sE-A)^{-1}\). Concerning the numerical computation of the left and right bases for eigenspaces, the approach given here is certainly very poor compared to the generalized Schur form. However, if a particular eigenvalue is known a priori (finite or \(\infty)\), the computation of the residues at this singularity may be useful, even when E is regular.
