L j (x and (x λ j m j 1 (m j 1! L j (x ], A j = [ a 0j a ij a mj 1j ] T Proof It can be observed that (25 can be equivalently written in the following form: r(x = m j 1 (x λ j i c ij L j (x K[x], i! where c 0j c 1j c mj 1j = Λ 1 j a 0j a 1j a mj 1j, 0 j (26 Now, by calculating the derivative of order i of the polynomial r at λ j and using (23 in Lemma 22, we obtain r (i (λ j = i ( i c kj (L j (i k (λ j, (27 k k=0

L j (x ], and L j,λ j are respectively as in (21, (22 by m 0 = m 1 = = m = m Proof Let k be the dimension of the field K(λ 0,,λ as vector space over K, that is, k = [K(λ 0,,λ,K] (31 Then there exist τ 1,,τ k 1 in K(λ 0,,λ such that {1,τ 1,,τ k 1 } is a basis of K(λ 0,,λ as a vector space over K Now, using Theorem 23 by m 0 = m 1 = = m = m, we have that there is unique polynomial r K(λ 0,,λ [x] given by (25 for m 0 = m 1 = = m = m having degree less than mn such that ( r (i (λ j = f i (λ j, (32 for all 0 i m 1,0 j n 1 Therefore, there exist polynomials q i K(λ 0,,λ [x], 0 i m 1, such that r (i = f i +g q i (33 Moreover, by (31 we have that the dimension of K(λ 0,,λ [x] as free module over K[x] is k and {1,τ 1,,τ k 1 } is a basis of K(λ 0,,λ [x] over K[x] Therefore, the polynomials r, q i K(λ 0,,λ [x] can be uniquely written in the following form: and r = r + τ s r s, (34 s=1 q i = q i + τ s q si, 0 i m 1, (35 s=1 where r, r s, q i, q si K[x], with degr, degr i < mn Setting (34 and (35 in (33, we get r (i = f i +gq i (36 for all 0 i m 1

8 Volume 23, pp , August AI Kechriniotis, KK Delibasis, C Tsonos, and N Petropoulos Now from (36 we clearly get that r satisfies the identities (32, and since the polynomial of degree less than mn satisfying the identities (32 is unique, we conclude that r = r Finally, suppose that Theorem 31 is true for one polynomial g K[x] having a root λ K of multiplicity > 1 Then there exists a polynomial g 0 in K[x] such that g(x = (x λ 2 g 0 (x Applying Theorem 31 for g and f 0 = f 1 = 1, we obtain and for some r, q 0, q 1 K[x] r(x = 1+(x λ 2 g 0 (xq 0 (x (37 r (1 (x = 1+(x λ 2 g 0 (xq 1 (x (38 Differentiating (37, and setting x = λ in the resulting identity, as well as in (38, we respectively get the contradiction r (1 (λ = 0 and r (1 (λ = 1 4 Applications of Theorem 31 Firstly, we will use Theorem 31 to give a closed formula for the semi simple part of the well known Jordan decomposition, (eg, [2, 4, 7] of an algebraic element A of an algebra A over a perfect field K into a semisimple S A and a nilpotent part A proof of the existence of S A that is presented in the book of Hoffman and Kunze [4], is based on Newton s method and yields direct methods for computations An algorithm, which is essentially based on these ideas, is given by Levelt [6] The algorithm of Bourgoyne and Cushman [3] is faster, because higher derivatives are used In [9], D Schmidt has used Newton s method to construct the semi simple part of the Jordan decomposition of an algebraic element in an arbitrary algebra, showing quadratic convergence of the algorithm Another approach uses the partial fractions decomposition of the reciprocal of the minimal polynomial [5, 10, 11] An explicit construction of the spectral decomposition of a matrix using Hermite interpolation is reported in [11], which requires the use of Taylor coefficients of the reciprocal of the matrix minimal polynomial In this work, we also obtain a new closed formula for the semi simple part S A of the Jordan decomposition of an algebraic element A in an arbitrary algebra, using our proposed polynomial division by a common separable divisor The proposed closed formula requires only evaluation of the derivatives of the basic Hermite like interpolation polynomials that are associated with the eigenvalues of A, up to the

L j (x [ A j = f(λ j,0 y f(λ j,0 ] (x λ j m 1 (m 1! L j (x, ] T m 1 y f(λ m 1 j,0, and L j,λ j are as in (21, (22 by m 0 = m 1 = = m = m Proof The polynomial f can be rewritten in the form for some h K[x,y] f(x,y = m 1 i 1 i! y if(x,0yi +y m h(x,y, (42 Furthermore, according to Theorem 31 there exists unique polynomial r K[x] of degree less than mn, given by (41, such that: Combining (42 with (43, we get i y if(x,0 = r(i (x mod g(x, 0 i m 1, (43 f(x,y = m 1 Furthermore, by using the Taylor formula, we have: m 1 r (i (x y i mod I (44 i! r (i (x y i = r(x+y mod y m (45 i!

10 Volume 23, pp , August AI Kechriniotis, KK Delibasis, C Tsonos, and N Petropoulos Substituting (45 in (44 completes the proof Now we will use Theorem 31 to give a closed formula for the semi simple part of the Jordan decomposition of an algebraic number of an algebra A over a perfect field K Let p K[x] be the minimal polynomialofanalgebraicelement Aofan algebraa overkwith unit 1 Let λ i, i = 0,1,,be the distinct roots ofpin K, and let k i, i = 1,2,, be their respective multiplicities We denote p(x := (x λ i and m(p := max{k 0,,k } Proposition 42 The semi simple part S A of the Jordan decomposition of A is given by S A = r(a, where r(x is the polynomial where [ X j = L j (x r(x = X j Λ 1 j A j K[x], (46 (x λ j 1! L j (x A j = [ λ j 0 0 ] T, (x λ j m 1 (m 1! L j (x ], and L j,λ j are as in (21, (22 by m 0 = m 1 = = m = m(p Proof Since S A is the semi simple part of A and N A is the nilpotent part of A, the minimal polynomials of S A and N A are respectively p(x and x m(p So we have p(s A = 0 and N m(p A = 0 Now if we apply Lemma 41 by choosing f(x,y = x, g(x = p(xandm = m(p, andtakingintoaccountthatf(x,0 = x, and i y f(x,0 = i 0 for 1 i m 1 we have that for the polynomial r given by (46 holds: x = r(x+y mod I, (47 where I is the ideal generated from the polynomials p(x and y m(p Finally setting x = S A and y = N A in (47 we get S A = r(s A +N A = r(a The next result of this section is the generalization of Theorem 31, which is expressed in the following theorem Theorem 43 Let g K[x] be separable of degree n Let Π (K[x] m m such that det(π 0 Then, for any polynomials f 0,f 1,,f m 1 K[x], there exists a unique polynomial r K[x] of degree less than mn, such that Π r r r (m 1 = E f 0 f 1 f m 1 mod g,
