Abstract: Let A_+ be the ring of Laplace transforms of complex Borel measures on R with support in [0,+infty) which do not have a singular nonatomic part. We compare the nu-metric d_{A_+} for stabilizable plants over A_+ given in the article by Ball and Sasane [2010], with yet another metric d_{H^infty}|_{A_+}, namely the one induced by the metric d_{H^infty} for the set of stabilizable plants over H^infty given in teh article by Sasane in 2011. Both d_{A_+} and d_{H^infty} coincide with the classical Vinnicombe metric defined for rational transfer functions, but we show here by means of an example that these two possible extensions of the classical nu-metric for plants over A_+ do not coincide on the set of stabilizable plants over A_+. We also prove that they nevertheless give rise to the same topology on stabilizable plants over A_+, which in turn coincides with the gap metric topology.

Recommendations

• Extension of the \(\nu\)-metric for stabilizable plants over \(H^\infty\)
• The new -metric induces the classical gap topology
• Reformulation of the extension of the \(\nu\)-metric for \(H^{\infty }\)
• Extension of the -metric: the H^ case
• A refinement of the generalized chordal distance
