An algorithm for the computation of the transfer function matrix of two- dimensional systems (Q1068769)

An algorithm is developed for the computation of the transfer function matrix of a two-dimensional system, which is given in its state-space form, without inverting a polynomial matrix. A new transformation has been considered so that the well known Fadeeva's algorithm for regular systems can be used as the basis for the derivation of the present algorithm. The above transformation can be generally used in the reduction of many two-dimensional problems to the corresponding one- dimensional ones. The algorithm presented is well-suited for computer use.
