Differential linear repetitive processes (LRP) are considered that have the state space representation \[ \begin{matrix} \dot{x}_{k+1}(t)=Ax_{k+1}(t)+Bu_{k+1}(t)+B_{0}y_{k}(t)\\ y_{k+1}(t)=Cx_{k+1}(t)+Du_{k+1}(t)+D_{0}y_{k}(t),\end{matrix} \] \(k\in\mathbb{N}, t\in[0,\alpha]\), where \(x_{k}(t)\in\mathbb{R}^{n}\) is the state vector, \(y_{k}(t)\in\mathbb{R}^{m}\) the pass profile and \(u_{k}(t)\in\mathbb{R}^{r}\) the input of the system. To this continuous-discrete 2D model one associates a similar discrete-discrete model. The paper describes the basic development of a MATLAB based toolbox for analysis of LRP. For simulation purposes various 2D discretization methods are used to obtain the 2D discrete LRP. Various initial conditions are implemented in the toolbox, from the simplest ones to those which are functions of the previous pass profiles. The toolbox can simulate and display the response of differential and discrete LRP. The data structures and related tasks necessary to simulate a discrete example is described, and the graphical facilities are emphasized.
