Structural decomposition and its properties of linear multivariable singular systems

Abstract

We present in this paper a structural decomposition for linear multivariable singular systems. Such a decomposition has a distinct feature of capturing and displaying all the structural properties, such as the finite and infinite zero structures, invertibility structures, and redundant dynamics of the given system. As its counterpart for non-singular systems, we believe that the technique is a powerful tool in solving control problems for singular systems. © Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2007.
