Abstract |
|
For a nonsingular pair of real symmetric (r.s.) matrices S and T the maximal number m of lin. ind. vectors simultaneously annihilated by the associated quadratic forms is computed as a function of the real Jordan normal form of S−1T. Conversely one can deduce which real Jordan normal form S−1T must have, if a specific m is the maximal number of such vectors. Furthermore, two new conditions are found that assure S and T to be simultaneously diagonalizable by a real congruence transformation. |
