Jun 15, 2014 at 13:41 comment added Joseph O'Rourke Apologies to all for the misleading example! @FedericoPoloni: I did not know the term for these polynomials, searched and found that in Wikipedia. From your references, it looks like Wikipedia needs updating to acknowledge the terminological variations.

Jun 15, 2014 at 7:22 comment added Federico Poloni Where did you encounter that definition (apart from Wikipedia)? As far as I know, in linear algebra research "matrix polynomial" is used as a synonym for "polynomial matrix", while what you speak about would simply be called "a (scalar) polynomial evaluated in a matrix argument". Sources: Gohberg, Lancaster, Rodman, Matrix Polynomials; Higham, Functions of matrices.
