Frost and Storey (1978) investigated the concept of equivalence of matrices over lR [s, z] and its dependence on the zeros of such matrices. In particular it was proposed that, in addition to being necessary, the condition that a matrix over lR [s, z] has no zeros is also sufficient for it to be equivalent over lR [s, z] to its Smith form over lR [s, z]. However, Frost (1979) in an expanded account of the material on which this result was based pointed out that further investigation was needed as there existed a weakness in the proof of the result. It has now become possible to provide a counter-example to the result as proposed. This counter-example depends on another result which is an extension of a well-known result for matrices over lR [s](see, eg Rosenbrock and Storey 1970).Let A (z) and A'(z) be n x n matrices over lR [z]. Then the matrices sl;-A (z) and sIn-A'(z) are equivalent over lR [s, z] if and only if A (z) and A'(z) are similar over lR [z]. That is if and only if there exists a unimodular n x n matrix H (z) over lR [z] such that
