Abstract
A mixed matrix pencil is a matrix pencil with two kinds of nonzero coefficients: fixed constants that account for conservation laws and independent parameters that represent physical characteristics. In this paper, the indices of nilpotency of the Kronecker canonical form for a mixed matrix pencil are characterized in terms of matroids. As a byproduct, this provides an algorithm for computing the rank of a power product of a square mixed matrix.
