A polynomial eigenvalue decomposition of paraher-mitian matrices can be calculated approximately using iterative approaches such as the sequential matrix diagonalisation (SMD) algorithm. In this paper, we present an improved SMD algorithm which, compared to existing approaches, eliminates more off-diagonal energy per step. This leads faster convergence while incurring only a marginal increase in complexity. We motivate approach, prove its convergence, and demonstrate some results that...

In this paper, we show that the paraunitary (PU) matrices arise from polynomial eigenvalue decomposition (PEVD) of a parahermitian matrix are not unique. particular, arbitrary shifts (delays) polynomials in one row PU yield another admits same PEVD. To keep order such as low possible, propose row-shift correction. Using example an iterative PEVD algorithm with previously proposed truncation matrix, demonstrate considerable shortening can be accomplished when using row-corrected truncation.

Polynomial parahermitian matrices can accurately and elegantly capture the space-time covariance in broadband array problems.To factorise such matrices, a number of polynomial EVD (PEVD) algorithms have been suggested.At every step, these move various amounts off-diagonal energy onto diagonal, to eventually reach an approximate diagonalisation.In practical experiments, we found that relative performance depends quite significantly on type matrix is be factorised.This paper aims explore this...
