Cherito n School of Computer Science_\n\nWe consider the problem of computing the nearest matrix polynomial\nwith a non-trivial Smith Normal Form (SNF). Thi s is a non-convex\noptimization problem where we find a nearby matrix poly nomial with\nprescribed eigenvalues and associated multiplicity structure in the\ninvariant factors.\n DTSTAMP:20250519T192939Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
