An approach to solving multiparameter algebraic problems

An approach to solving the following multiparameter algebraic problems is suggested: (1) spectral problems for singular matrices polynomially dependent on q ≥ 2 spectral parameters, namely: the separation of the regular and singular parts of the spectrum, the computation of the discrete spectrum, and the construction of a basis that is free of a finite regular spectrum of the null-space of polynomial solutions of a multiparameter polynomial matrix; (2) the execution of certain operations over scalar and matrix multiparameter polynomials, including the computation of the GCD of a sequence of polynomials, the division of polynomials by their common divisor, and the computation of relative factorizations of polynomials; (3) the solution of systems of linear algebraic equations with multiparameter polynomial matrices and the construction of inverse and pseudoinverse matrices. This approach is based on the so-called ΔW-q factorizations of polynomial q-parameter matrices and extends the method for solving problems for one- and two-parameter polynomial matrices considered in [1-3] to an arbitrary q > 2. © 1998 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
