Abstract

We study self-adjoint matrix polynomial equations in a single variable and prove existence of self-adjoint solutions under some assumptions on the leading form. Our main result is that any self-adjoint matrix polynomial equation of odd degree with non-degenerate leading form can be solved in self-adjoint matrices. We also study equations of even degree and equations in many variables.
