9780471842606: Invariant Subspaces of Matrices With Applications (Wiley–Interscience and Canadian Mathematics Series of Monographs and Texts)

Synopsis

This unique treatment of linear algebra establishes the central role of invariant subspaces in the analysis of linear transformation. Incorporating the newest developments in linear algebra stimulated by linear systems theory, it gives a comprehensive view of geometrical, algebraic, topological, and analytical properties of invariant subspaces, with an emphasis on applications to matrix polynomials, rational matrix functions, linear systems, and matrix quadratic equations. Also presented is an algebraic treatment of control and systems theories. Written by a world-famous expert, this text contains material not previously published, and includes numerous exercises.

Book Description

This unique book addresses advanced linear algebra using invariant subspaces as the central notion and main tool. It comprehensively covers geometrical, algebraic, topological, and analytic properties of invariant subspaces, laying clear mathematical foundations for linear systems theory with a thorough treatment of analytic perturbation theory for matrix functions.
