contents In this paper, we study the stability of matrix polynomials under structured perturbations of their coefficients. More precisely, we consider a family of matrix polynomials \[ P_u(λ)=A_d(u)λ^d+A_{d-1}(u)λ^{d-1}+\cdots+A_0(u), \] whose matrix coefficients depend continuously and semialgebraically on a parameter vector $u\in\mathbb{C}^p$. Assuming that the matrix polynomial is monic, we show that the spectrum, the $\varepsilon$-pseudospectrum, the numerical range, and the joint numerical range associated with $P_u(λ)$ define set-valued maps that are Hölder continuous with respect to the parameter $u$. Moreover, the parameter space $\mathbb{C}^p$ can be decomposed into a finite union of analytic semialgebraic submanifolds such that, on each submanifold, the eigenvalues and the Jordan pairs of $P_u(λ)$ depend analytically on $u$. We also note that most of the results remain valid if the monicity assumption is replaced by the local nonsingularity of the leading coefficient matrix $A_d(u)$. However, the monic setting is adopted throughout the paper in order to simplify the exposition and to avoid additional technical assumptions, which are required in particular for results concerning numerical ranges.
