Synopsis

In the general theory of ordinary linear quasi-differential equations, the set of Shin–Zettl matrices plays an important role. This paper displays certain properties of these matrices and their behaviour under a special form of transformation. Essentially, the problems can be considered within the framework of linear algebra.
