Abstract: Our aim in this paper is two-fold: First, for computing zeros of a linear time-invariant (LTI) system

S i g m a

in {em state-space form}, we introduce a "trimmed structured linearization", which we refer to as {em Rosenbrock linearization}, of the Rosenbrock system polynomial

m a t h c a l S (l a m)

associated with

S i g m a .

We also introduce Fiedler-like matrices for

m a t h c a l S (l a m)

and describe constructions of Fiedler-like pencils for

m a t h c a l S (l a m) .

We show that the Fiedler-like pencils of

m a t h c a l S (l a m)

are Rosenbrock linearizations of the system polynomial

m a t h c a l S (l a m) .

Second, with a view to developing a direct method for solving rational eigenproblems, we introduce "linearization" of a rational matrix function. We describe a state-space framework for converting a rational matrix function

G (l a m)

to an "equivalent" matrix pencil

m a t h b b L (l a m)

of smallest dimension such that

G (l a m)

and

m a t h b b L (l a m)

have the same "eigenstructure" and we refer to such a pencil

m a t h b b L (l a m)

as a "linearization" of

G (l a m) .

Indeed, by treating

G (l a m)

as the transfer function of an LTI system

S i g m a_{G}

in state-space form via state-space realization, we show that the Fiedler-like pencils of the Rosenbrock system polynomial associated with

S i g m a_{G}

are "linearizations" of

G (l a m)

when the system

S i g m a_{G}

is both controllable and observable.
