Canonical Matrix Fraction and State-Space Descriptions for Deterministic and Stochastic Linear Systems.

摘要

Several results exposing the interrelations between state-space and frequency-domain descriptions of multivariable linear systems are presented. Three canonical forms for constant parameter autoregressive-moving averabe (ARMA) models for input-output relations are described and shown to correspond to three particular canonical forms for the state variable realization of the model. Invariant parameters for the partial realization problem are characterized. For stochastic processes, it is shown how to construct an ARMA model, driven by white noise, whose output has a specified covariance. A two-step procedure is given, based on minimal realization and Cholesky-factorization algorithms. Though the goal is an ARMA model, it proves useful to introduce an artificial state model and to employ the recently developed Chandrasekhar-type equations for state estimation. The important case of autoregressive processes is studied and it is shown how the Chandrasekhar-type equations can be used to obtain and generalize the well known Levinson-Wiggins-Robinson (LWR) recursion for estimation of stationary autoregressive processes.
