| Abstract: | In the present paper, methods and algorithms for numerical solution of spectral problems and some problems in algebra related to them for one- and two-parameter polynomial and rational matrices are considered. A survey of known methods of solving spectral problems for polynomial matrices that are based on the rank factorization of constant matrices, i.e., that apply the singular value decomposition (SVD) and the normalized decomposition (the QR factorization), is given. The approach to the construction of methods that makes use of rank factorization is extended to one- and two-parameter polynomial and rational matrices. Methods and algorithms for solving some parametric problems in algebra based on ideas of rank factorization are presented.
