An Explicit Jordan Decomposition of Companion Matrices

F.S.V. Bazán, S. Gratton

Abstract


We derive a closed form for the Jordan decomposition of companion matrices including properties of generalized eigenvectors. As a consequence, we provide a formula for the inverse of confluent Vandermonde matrices and results on sensitivity of multiple roots of polynomials.
