Abstract
Let (ℋ, ℳ) be a linear matrix problem induced from a finite dimensional algebra ∧. Then anṉ ×ṉ matrix M in R(ℋ, ℳ) is indecomposable if and only if the number of links in the canonical formM (∞) of M is equal to. ℳ-dimṉ − 1. On the other hand, the dimension of the endomorphism ring of M is equal to ℋ-dimṉ − σ(M).
