This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the theory of matrix polynomials. The theory developed here is a natural extension to polynomials of higher degrees, and forms an important new part of linear algebra for which the main concepts and results have been arrived at during the past five years.

Book Description:

This book is the definitive treatment of the theory of polynomials in a complex variable with matrix coefficients. It is appropriate for students, instructors, and researchers in linear algebra, operator theory, differential equations, systems theory, and numerical analysis.
