Abstract
The Leverrier-Faddeev algorithm, as modified by Gower [1], provides a powerful tool for constructing explicit matrix inverses and spectral decompositions, especially for classes of matrices that exhibit certain kinds of defined structure. The derivation of some standard results illustrates the method and some new applications are given stemming from the field of multidimensional scaling.
