Given the set of square matrices
M
Mn+m(C) that keep the subspace
W=Cnx{0}
Cn+m invariant, we obtain the implicit form of a miniversal deformation of a matrix
a
M, and we compute it explicitely when this matrix is marked (this is, if there is a permutation matrix
p
Mn+m(C) such that
p−1ap is a
Jordan matrix). We derive some applications to tackle the classical Carlson problem.
