โฆ Synopsis
We show that the usual companion matrix of a polynomial of degree n can be factored into a product of n matrices, n -1 of them being the identity matrix in which a 2 ร 2 identity submatrix in two consecutive rows (and columns) is replaced by an appropriate 2 ร 2 matrix, the remaining being the identity matrix with the last entry replaced by possibly different entry. By a certain similarity transformation, we obtain a simple new companion matrix in a pentadiagonal form. Some generalizations are also possible.

Let E\* denote the class of square matrices M such that the linear complementarity problem Mz + q > 0, z > 0, (Mz + q) TV = 0, has a unique solution for every q such that 0 # q > 0. We show that E' g E\* \ E, where E is the strictly semimonotone matrices, consists of completely Q. matrices whose pro
