Journal of Mathematical Sciences Aims and scope Submit manuscript

We present a survey of the results of investigations of one of the fields dealing with the equivalence of matrices originated by P. S. Kazimirs’kii and then continued and developed by his colleagues. We formulate standard forms of polynomial matrices and their finite sets with respect to the semiscalar equivalence and generalized equivalence of the pairs of matrices over rings. Their applications to the development of the methods of matrix factorization, solving of the matrix equations, description of the structure of solutions of these equations and, in particular, of the Sylvester matrix equations, linear Diophantine matrix equations, and other problems are indicated.
