On singular pencils of matrices

Abstract

"This thesis is a study of Singular Matrix Pencils under various aspects. In part (I) a new derivation of the Canonical Form of matrix pencils is given. This suggests investigation of the transformations of a pencil into itself (part (II)). Finally, part (III) deals with the canonical form of singular pencils of special types, namely those whose members are induced (or invariant) matrices." -- Preface
