Abstract: In [19], Taslaman, Tisseur, and Zaballa show that any regular matrix polynomial $P(lambda)$ over an algebraically closed field is spectrally equivalent to a triangular matrix polynomial of the same degree. When $P(lambda)$ is real and regular, they also show that there is a real quasi-triangular matrix polynomial of the same degree that is spectrally equivalent to $P(lambda)$, in which the diagonal blocks are of size at most $2imes2$. This paper generalizes these results to regular matrix polynomials $P(lambda)$ over arbitrary fields $mathbbF$, showing that any such $P(lambda)$ can be quasi-triangularized to a spectrally equivalent matrix polynomial over $mathbbF$ of the same degree, in which the largest diagonal block size is bounded by the highest degree appearing among all of the $mathbbF$-irreducible factors in the Smith form for $P(lambda)$.
