Elementary operation approach to Fornasini-Marchesini state-space model realization of multidimensional systems

摘要

This paper proposes a novel realization approach to generate a low-order Fornasini-Marchesini (F-M) (second) model for multidimensional (n-D) systems. First, based on two developed matrix relation properties, the F-M model realization problem is converted to establishing a desired standard matrix by performing elementary operations on an associated matrix initialized from the given transfer matrix. Then, a general constructive procedure and two corresponding techniques to compute the F-M models are established for both the left and right matrix fractional descriptions (MFDs) of the given transfer matrix. It turns out that compared with the existing methods the proposed approach can produce an F-M model with lower order, and furthermore, this is the first method that can treat both the left and right MFDs for obtaining an F-M model realization in a unified manner. Non-trivial examples are given to illustrate the details and effectiveness of the proposed approach. (c) 2020 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
