Abstract

An hermitian matrix pencil λA - B with A nonsingular is called strongly definitizable if Ap(A-1B) is positive definite for some polynomial p. We present three characterizations of strongly definitizable pencils, which generalize the classical results for definite pencils. They are, in particular, stably simultaneously diagonable. We also discuss this form of stability with respect to an open subset of the real line. Implications for some quadratic eigenvalue problems are included.
