Abstract

It is proved that the range of a Sylvester map defined by two matrices of sizes p × p and q × q, respectively, plus matrices whose ranks are bounded above, cover all p × q matrices. The best possible upper bound on the ranks is found in many cases. An application is made to a minimal rank problem that is motivated by the theory of minimal factorizations of rational matrix functions.
