With the coefficient matrices of the polynomial matrices replacing the scalar coefficients in the standard Sylvester matrix, common factors exist if and only if this (generalized) Sylvester matrix is singular and the coefficient matrices commute. If the coefficient matrices do not commute, a...

We consider the discrete system resulting from mixed finite element approximation of a second-order elliptic boundary value problem with Crouzeix–Raviart non-conforming elements for the vector valued unknown function and piece-wise constants for the scalar valued unknown function. Since the...
