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…

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…

We study the structured distance to singularity for a given regular matrix pencil $A+sE$, where $(A,E)\in \mathbb S \subseteq (\mathbb C^{n,n})^2$. This includes Hermitian, skew-Hermitian, $*$-even, $*$-odd, $*$-palindromic, T-palindromic,…

We prove that two n-by-n matrices A and B have their rank-k numerical ranges $\Lambda_k(A)$ and $\Lambda_k(B)$ equal to each other for all k, $1\le k\le \lfloor n/2\rfloor+1$, if and only if their Kippenhahn polynomials…

In this paper we show how to construct diagonal scalings for arbitrary matrix pencils $\lambda B-A$, in which both $A$ and $B$ are complex matrices (square or nonsquare). The goal of such diagonal scalings is to "balance" in some sense the…

Let $A(x)=A\_0+x\_1A\_1+...+x\_nA\_n$ be a linear matrix, or pencil, generated by given symmetric matrices $A\_0,A\_1,...,A\_n$ of size $m$ with rational entries. The set of real vectors x such that the pencil is positive semidefinite is a…

The notion of the higher rank numerical range $\Lambda_{k}(L(\lambda))$ for matrix polynomials $L(\lambda)=A_{m}\lambda^{m}+...+A_{1}\lambda+A_{0}$ is introduced here and some fundamental geometrical properties are investigated. Further,…

We characterize under what conditions $n\times n$ Hermitian matrices $A_1$ and $A_2$ have the property that the spectrum of $\cos t A_1 + \sin t A_2$ is independent of $t$ (thus, the trigonometric pencil $\cos t A_1 + \sin t A_2$ is…

Which convex subsets of the complex plane are the numerical range W(A of some matrix A? This paper gives a precise characterization of these sets. In addition to this we show that for any A there exists a symmetric matrix B of the same size…

Let $k$ be a field and $n,a,b$ natural numbers. A matrix pencil $P$ is given by $n$ matrices of the same size with coefficients in $k$, say by $(b\times a)$-matrices, or, equivalently, by $n$ linear transformations $\alpha_i\:k^a \to k^b$…

Analogously as in classical algebraic geometry, linear pencils of tropical plane curves are parameterized by tropical lines in a coefficient space. A special example of such a linear pencil is the set of tropical plane curves with an…
