A canonical form for regular pencils of matrices. (English) Zbl 0606.15005

A new canonical form for regular pencils of matrices is constructed. This canonical form is characterized by: (1) the block diagonal structure, (2) the diagonal blocks in general companion form. It is shown that every regular pencil can be reduced to such a form by strict equivalence transformations.
