Abstract

In this paper we consider a duality relation on matrix pencils and show that it is a useful tool in the theory of linearizations of matrix polynomials. Exploiting a result that completely characterizes the Kronecker form of dual pencils, we study the behaviour under duality of the spectral structures, including eigenvalues, eigenvectors, Wong chains, and minimal bases. We also present several new applications of this concept, including: constraints on the minimal indices of singular Hamiltonian and symplectic pencils, new sufficient conditions under which pencils in L1, L2 linearization spaces are strong linearizations, a new perspective on Fiedler pencils, a link between the Möller-Stetter theorem and some linearizations of matrix polynomials.
