Structured mapping problems for linearly structured matrices

Abstract

Given an appropriate class of structured matrices S; we characterize matrices X and B for which there exists a matrix A \in S such that AX = B and determine all matrices in S mapping X to B. We also determine all matrices in S mapping X to B and having the smallest norm. We use these results to investigate structured backward errors of approximate eigenpairs and approximate invariant subspaces, and structured pseudospectra of structured matrices.
