Abstract: Given a $(k+1)$-tuple $A,B_1,\mathrm{...},B_k$ of $(mimesn)$-matrices with $mlen$ we call the set of all $k$-tuples of complex numbers $l{a}_1,\mathrm{...},l{a}_k$ such that the linear combination $A+l{a}_1{B}_1+l{a}_2{B}_2+\mathrm{...}+l{a}_k{B}_k$ has rank smaller than $m$ the {it eigenvalue locus} of the latter pencil. Motivated primarily by applications to multi-parameter generalizations of the Heine-Stieltjes spectral problem, see cite{He} and cite{Vol}, we study a number of properties of the eigenvalue locus in the most important case $k=n-m+1$.
