Canonical forms for pairs of matrices associated with Lagrangian and Dirac subspaces
Abstract
We derive the canonical forms for a pair of $n\times n$ complex matrices $(E,Q)$ under transformations $(E,Q) \rightarrow (UEV,U^{-T}QV)$, and $(E,Q) \rightarrow (UEV,U^{-*}QV)$, where $U$ and $V$ are nonsingular complex matrices. We, in particular, consider the special cases of $E^TQ$ and $E^*Q$ being (skew-)symmetric and (skew-)Hermitian, respectively, that are associated with Lagrangian and Dirac subspaces and related linear-time invariant dissipative Hamiltonian descriptor systems.
