Low rank perturbation of regular matrix polynomials (Q958049)

Let \(A(\lambda)\) be a complex regular matrix polynomial of degree \(l\) with \(g\) elementary divisors corresponding to the finite eigenvalue \(\lambda_0\). The authors show that for most complex matrix polynomials \(B(\lambda)\) with degree at most \(l\) satisfying rank \(B(\lambda_0) < g\) the perturbed polynomial \((A + B)(\lambda)\) has exactly \(g-{\text{rank}} B(\lambda_0)\) elementary divisors corresponding to \(\lambda_0\), and the authors determine their degrees.
