Abstract

Some known results for locating the roots of polynomials are extended to the case of matrix polynomials. In particular, a theorem by A.E. Pellet [Bulletin des Sciences Math\'ematiques, (2), vol 5 (1881), pp.393-395], some results of D.A. Bini [Numer. Algorithms 13:179-200, 1996] based on the Newton polygon technique, and recent results of M. Akian, S. Gaubert and M. Sharify (see in particular [LNCIS, 389, Springer p.p.291-303] and [M. Sharify, Ph.D. thesis, \'Ecole Polytechnique, ParisTech, 2011]). These extensions are applied for determining effective initial approximations for the numerical computation of the eigenvalues of matrix polynomials by means of simultaneous iterations, like the Ehrlich-Aberth method. Numerical experiments that show the computational advantage of these results are presented.
