Under the action of the general linear group with tensor structure, the ranks of matrices $A$ and $B$ forming an $m \times n$ pencil $A + \lambda B$ can change, but in a restricted manner. Specifically, with every pencil one can associate a…

This paper solves the two-sided version and provides a counterexample to the general version of the 2003 conjecture by Hadwin and Larson. Consider evaluations of linear matrix pencils $L=T_0+x_1T_1+\cdots+x_mT_m$ on matrix tuples as…

A characterization of the structure of a regular matrix pencil obtained by a bounded rank perturbation of another regular matrix pencil has been recently obtained. The result generalizes the solution for the bounded rank perturbation…

This paper is devoted to the study of perturbations of a matrix pencil, structured or unstructured, such that a perturbed pencil will reproduce a given deflating pair while maintaining the invariance of the complementary deflating pair. If…

In our earlier posting "Matrix Pencils and Entanglement Classification", arXiv:0911.1803, we gave a polynomial-time algorithm for deciding if two states in a space of dimension $2\otimes m\otimes n$ are SLOCC equivalent. In this note, we…

We study linear pencils of curves on normal surface singularities. Using the minimal good resolution of the pencil, we describe the topological type of generic elements of the pencil and characterize the behaviour of special elements. Then…

A number of theoretical and computational problems for matrix polynomials are solved by passing to linearizations. Therefore a perturbation theory results for linearizations need to be related back to matrix polynomials. In this paper we…

This paper presents a definition for local linearizations of rational matrices and studies their properties. This definition allows us to introduce matrix pencils associated to a rational matrix that preserve its structure of zeros and…

Let $(A,B)$ be a pair of skew-symmetric matrices over a field of characteristic not 2. Its regularization decomposition is a direct sum \[ (\underline{\underline A},\underline{\underline B})\oplus (A_1,B_1)\oplus\dots\oplus(A_t,B_t) \] that…

Matrix polynomials given in an orthogonal basis are considered. Following the ideas of Mackey et al. "Vector spaces of Linearizations for Matrix Polynomials" (2006), the vec- tor spaces, called M1(P), M2(P) and DM(P), of potential…

We solve the problem of characterizing the Kronecker structure of a matrix pencil obtained by a rank-one perturbation of another matrix pencil. The results hold over arbitrary fields.

The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we introduce a new class of linearizations, based on the generalization of a construction used in polynomial algebra to find the zeros of a system of (scalar) polynomial equations. We show that one…

Our aim is to generalize the result that two generic complex line arrangements are equivalent. In fact for a line arrangement A we associate its defining polynomial, the product of a_ix+b_iy+c_i, so that A = (f=0). We prove that the…

In this work, we consider symmetric positive definite pencils depending on two parameters. That is, we are concerned with the generalized eigenvalue problem $A(x)-\lambda B(x)$, where $A$ and $B$ are symmetric matrix valued functions in…

The problem of membrane topology in the matrix model of M-theory is considered. The matrix regularization procedure, which makes a correspondence between finite-sized matrices and functions defined on a two-dimensional base space, is…

Two sesquilinear forms $\Phi:\mathbb C^m\times\mathbb C^m\to \mathbb C$ and $\Psi:\mathbb C^n\times\mathbb C^n\to \mathbb C$ are called topologically equivalent if there exists a homeomorphism $\varphi :\mathbb C^m\to \mathbb C^n$ (i.e., a…

Using the theory of equitable decompositions it is possible to decompose a matrix $M$ appropriately associated with a given graph. The result is a collection of smaller matrices whose collective eigenvalues are the same as the eigenvalues…

We propose a novel matrix regularization for tensor fields. In this regularization, tensor fields are described as rectangular matrices and both area-preserving diffeomorphisms and local rotations of the orthonormal frame are realized as…

We analyze when an arbitrary matrix pencil is equivalent to a dissipative Hamiltonian pencil and show that this heavily restricts the spectral properties. In order to relax the spectral properties, we introduce matrix pencils with…

For each pair of complex symmetric matrices $(A,B)$ we provide a normal form with a minimal number of independent parameters, to which all pairs of complex symmetric matrices $(\widetilde{A},\widetilde{B})$, close to $(A,B)$ can be reduced…
