Cancellative relations and matrices
In this paper we describe some properties of companion matrices and demonstrate some special patterns that arisewhen a Toeplitz or a Hankel matrix is multiplied by a related companion matrix.We present a necessary and sufficient condition, generalizing known results, for a matrix to be the transforming matrix for a similarity between a pair of companion matrices. A special case of our main result shows that a Toeplitz or a Hankel matrix can be extended using associated companion matrices, preserving...
