Controllable and uncontrollable poles and zeros of \(n\)D systems (Q5945298)

The behavioral approach is applied to characterize controllable and uncontrollable poles and zeros of multidimensional (\(n\)D) linear systems. It is shown that the controllable zero points are the zeros of the transfer matrix and the uncontrollable zero points are a special case of uncontrollable pole points. The given definitions of different types of poles and zeros are equivalent to module-theoretic properties, which are similar in the 1D case to the definitions of poles and zeros proposed by Bourlés and Fliess.
