A can be expressed as the polynomial in z ou 10\.. 1 2 10 (3 a)en(o f)e*(t Z)er(3 8) whose coefficients are-real matrices of order 2 x 2. Such a polynomial is said to be a matric matric polynomial is the degree of the consti degree appearing in the matrix A. In general, if A be annx 7 matrix whose elements are real (complex) polynomials in z, then A can be expressed as a matric polynomial whose coefficients are n x 7 real (complex) matrices. Two matric polynomials F(z) and Gfx) whose coefficients are matri- ces of the same order over the same field are said to be equal if they have the same degree and the coefficients of like powers of x be equal matrices.
