Skew-Symmetric Matrix Polynomials and their Smith Forms

چکیده
Two canonical forms for skew-symmetric matrix polynomials over arbitrary fields are characterized — the Smith form, and its skew-symmetric variant obtained via unimodular congruences. Applications include the analysis of the eigenvalue and elementary divisor structure of products of two skew-symmetric matrices, the derivation of a Smith-McMillan-like canonical form for skew-symmetric rational matrices, and the construction of minimal symmetric factorizations of skew-symmetric rational matrices. A sufficient condition for the existence of solutions to matrix polynomial Sylvester equations, and results on the existence and construction of structured linearizations for regular and singular skew-symmetric matrix polynomials are also presented.

The (R,S)-symmetric and (R,S)-skew symmetric solutions of the pair of matrix equations A1XB1 = C1 and A2XB2 = C2
Let $Rin textbf{C}^{mtimes m}$ and $Sin textbf{C}^{ntimes n}$ be nontrivial involution matrices; i.e., $R=R^{-1}neq pm~I$ and $S=S^{-1}neq pm~I$. An $mtimes n$ complex matrix $A$ is said to be an $(R, S)$-symmetric ($(R, S)$-skew symmetric) matrix if $RAS =A$ ($ RAS =-A$). The $(R, S)$-symmetric and $(R, S)$-skew symmetric matrices have a number of special properties and widely used in eng...
متن کاملUnfolding of Acyclic Sign-skew-symmetric Cluster Algebras and Applications to Positivity and F -polynomials
In this paper, we build the unfolding approach from acyclic sign-skew-symmetric matrices of finite rank to skew-symmetric matrices of infinite rank, which can be regard as an improvement of that in the skew-symmetrizable case. Using this approach, we give a positive answer to the problem by Berenstein, Fomin and Zelevinsky in [6] which asks whether an acyclic signskew-symmetric matrix is always...
متن کاملPerturbation Analysis for Complex Symmetric, Skew Symmetric, Even and Odd Matrix Polynomials
In this work we propose a general framework for the structured perturbation analysis of several classes of structured matrix polynomials in homogeneous form, including complex symmetric, skew-symmetric, even and odd matrix polynomials. We introduce structured backward errors for approximate eigenvalues and eigenvectors and we construct minimal structured perturbations such that an approximate e...
متن کاملOn backward errors of structured polynomial eigenproblems solved by structure preserving linearizations
First, we derive explicit computable expressions of structured backward errors of approximate eigenelements of structured matrix polynomials including symmetric, skew-symmetric, Hermitian, skew-Hermitian, even and odd polynomials. We also determine minimal structured perturbations for which approximate eigenelements are exact eigenelements of the perturbed polynomials. Next, we analyze the effe...
متن کاملStructured Eigenvalue Condition Number and Backward Error of a Class of Polynomial Eigenvalue Problems
We consider the normwise condition number and backward error of eigenvalues of matrix polynomials having ⋆-palindromic/antipalindromic and ⋆-even/odd structure with respect to structure preserving perturbations. Here ⋆ denotes either the transpose T or the conjugate transpose ∗. We show that when the polynomials are complex and ⋆ denotes complex conjugate, then to each of the structures there c...
