Abstract
In this paper, we consider the linearly structured partial polynomial inverse eigenvalue problem (LPPIEP) of constructing the matrices Ai is an element of Rnxn for i = 0, 1, 2, ... , (k - 1) of specified linear structure such that the matrix polynomial P(lambda) = lambda kIn + n-ary sumation k-1 has the m (1 <= m <= kn) prescribed eigenpairs as its eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Many practical applications give rise to linearly structured matrix polynomials. Typical linearly structured matrices are symmetric, skew-symmetric, tridiagonal, diagonal, pentagonal, Hankel, Toeplitz, etc. Therefore, construction of the matrix polynomial with the aforementioned structures is an important but challenging aspect of the polynomial inverse eigenvalue problem (PIEP). In this paper, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of solution to this problem is derived. Additionally, we characterize the class of all solutions to this problem by giving the explicit expressions of the solutions. It should be emphasized that the results presented in this paper resolve some important open problems in the area of PIEP namely, the inverse eigenvalue problems for structured matrix polynomials such as symmetric, skew-symmetric, alternating matrix polynomials as pointed out by De Teran et al. (2015). Further, we study sensitivity of solution to the perturbation of the eigendata. An attractive feature of our solution approach is that it does not impose any restriction on the number of eigendata for computing the solution of LPPIEP. Towards the end, the proposed method is validated with various numerical examples on a spring mass problem.
