Resumo

The Cayley-Hamilton theorem is extended from the case of one matrix to that of two matrices. The developed theorem is suitable for the standard form pencil sE − A. Let Δ(s) := det(sE − A) = Σr=0narsr. Then we show that Σr=0narArEn−r = 0. Such a neat result, which is very similar to the original theorem also, is due to some nice properties of the standard pair {E, A}. For example, E and A commute and share the same eigenspaces.
