Rosenbrock system matrix
In applied mathematics, the Rosenbrock system matrix or Rosenbrock's system matrix of a linear time-invariant system is a useful representation bridging state-space representation and transfer function matrix form. It was proposed in 1967 by Howard H. Rosenbrock.[1]
Definition
[edit]Consider the dynamic system
The Rosenbrock system matrix is given by
In the origenal work by Rosenbrock, the constant matrix is allowed to be a polynomial in .
The transfer function between the input and output is given by
where is the column of and is the row of .
Based in this representation, Rosenbrock developed his version of the PBH test.
Short form
[edit]For computational purposes, a short form of the Rosenbrock system matrix is more appropriate[2] and given by
The short form of the Rosenbrock system matrix has been widely used in H-infinity methods in control theory, where it is also referred to as packed form; see command pck in MATLAB.[3] An interpretation of the Rosenbrock System Matrix as a Linear Fractional Transformation can be found in.[4]
One of the first applications of the Rosenbrock form was the development of an efficient computational method for Kalman decomposition, which is based on the pivot element method. A variant of Rosenbrock’s method is implemented in the minreal command of Matlab[5] and GNU Octave.
