On properties of the special coordinate basis of linear systems (Q4955098)

The paper is devoted to the detailed study of a special condensed form for linear time-invariant systems \[ \delta x(t)= Ax(t)+ B(t)u(t),\quad y(t)= Cx(t)+ Du(t), \] where \(\delta\) is the differentiation or the shift forward operator. The change of variables is \(x(t)= \Gamma_s\widetilde x(t)\), \(y(t)= \Gamma_0\widetilde y(t)\), \(u(t)= \Gamma_i\widetilde u(t)\), where the \(\Gamma\)-\(s\) are general non-singular matrices. The condensed form for the quadruple \((A,B,C,D)\), introduced in [\textit{P. Sannuti} and \textit{A. Saberi}, Int. J. Control 45, 1655-1704 (1987; Zbl 0623.93014)], reveals the finite and infinite zero structures, the invertibility structure as well as the invariant and almost invariant subspaces of the system under the above action of general transformation groups.
