KroneckerModelDecomposition

KroneckerModelDecomposition

KroneckerModelDecomposition[ssm]

yields the Kronecker decomposition of a descriptor state-space model ssm.

Details and Options

The Kronecker decomposition is also known as the Weierstrass decomposition.
The result is a list {{p,q},kssm}, where p and q are transformation matrices, and kssm is the Kronecker form of ssm.
The decomposition decouples a descriptor state-space model into slow and fast subsystems.
The slow subsystem has the same form as a standard state-space model with state equation:
continuous time

discrete time
The fast subsystem is governed by the following state equations where e₂ is nilpotent:
continuous time

discrete time
The output of the system in Kronecker form is:
continuous time

discrete time
The matrices a₁ and e₂ are both taken to be in Jordan form.
StateSpaceTransform[ssm,{p,q}] has the form StateSpaceModel[{,,,,}], with and , where and a₂ are identity matrices with the dimensions of the slow and fast subsystems, and is a nilpotent matrix.
