Schur decompositions of a matrix and the boundary of its pseudospectrum

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We discuss the notion of irreducible block Schur decomposition of a complex square matrix and show how such a decomposition provides information about singularities in the boundaries of pseudospectra of the matrix. Detailed examples are provided to illustrate the theory. © 2010 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
