In mathematics, a matrix polynomial is a polynomial with square matrices as variables. Given an ordinary, scalar-valued polynomial
this polynomial evaluated at a matrix is
where is the identity matrix.[1]
Note that has the same dimension as .
A matrix polynomial equation is an equality between two matrix polynomials, which holds for the specific matrices in question. A matrix polynomial identity is a matrix polynomial equation which holds for all matrices A in a specified matrix ring Mn(R).
Matrix polynomials are often demonstrated in undergraduate linear algebra classes due to their relevance in showcasing properties of linear transformations represented as matrices, most notably the Cayley-Hamilton theorem.
