On a class of matrix pencils and -ifications equivalent to a given matrix polynomial

Abstract: A new class of linearizations and

e l l

-ifications for

m i m e s m

matrix polynomials

P (x)

of degree

n

is proposed. The

e l l

-ifications in this class have the form

A (x) = D (x) + (e o t i m e s I_{m}) W (x)

where

D

is a block diagonal matrix polynomial with blocks

B_{i} (x)

of size

m

,

W

is an

m i m e s q m

matrix polynomial and

e = (1, l d o t s, 1)^{t} i n m a t h b b C^{q}

, for a suitable integer

q

. The blocks

B_{i} (x)

can be chosen a priori, subjected to some restrictions. Under additional assumptions on the blocks

B_{i} (x)

the matrix polynomial

A (x)

is a strong

e l l

-ification, i.e., the reversed polynomial of

A (x)

defined by

is an

e l l

-ification of

. The eigenvectors of the matrix polynomials

P (x)

and

A (x)

are related by means of explicit formulas. Some practical examples of

e l l

-ifications are provided. A strategy for choosing

B_{i} (x)

in such a way that

A (x)

is a well conditioned linearization of

P (x)

is proposed. Some numerical experiments that validate the theoretical results are reported
