isregular(sys; atol = 0, atol1 = atol, atol2 = atol, rtol = n*ϵ)

Return true if the descriptor system sys = (A-λE,B,C,D) has a regular pole pencil A-λE and false otherwise.

To test whether the pencil A-λE is regular (i.e., det(A-λE) ̸≡ 0), the underlying computational procedure reduces the pencil A-λE to an appropriate Kronecker-like form, which provides information on the rank of A-λE.

The keyword arguements atol1, atol2 and rtol specify the absolute tolerance for the nonzero elements of A, the absolute tolerance for the nonzero elements of E, and the relative tolerance for the nonzero elements of A and E, respectively. The default relative tolerance is n*ϵ, where n is the size of A, and ϵ is the working machine epsilon. The keyword argument atol can be used to simultaneously set atol1 = atol and atol2 = atol.

DescriptorSystems.gpoleFunction
val = gpole(sys; fast = false, atol = 0, atol1 = atol, atol2 = atol, rtol = n*ϵ)

Return for the descriptor system sys = (A-λE,B,C,D) the complex vector val containing the finite and infinite zeros of the system pole pencil P(λ) := A-λE. The values in val are the poles of the transfer function matrix of sys, if A-λE is regular and the descriptor system realization sys = (A-λE,B,C,D) is irreducible. If the pencil A-λE is singular, val also contains NaN elements, whose number is the rank deficiency of the pencil A-λE.

For E nonsingular, val contains the generalized eigenvalues of the pair (A,E). For E singular, val contains the zeros of P(λ), which are computed by reducing the pencil P(λ) to an appropriate Kronecker-like form using orthonal similarity transformations and involves rank decisions based on rank revealing QR-decompositions with column pivoting, if fast = true, or, the more reliable, SVD-decompositions, if fast = false.

The regularity of A-λE is implicitly checked. If check_reg = true, an error message is issued if the pencil A-λE is singular. If check_reg = false and the pencil A-λE is singular, then n-r poles are set to NaN, where n is the system order and r is the normal rank of A-λE.

Compute the ν-gap distance nugapdist between two descriptor systems sys1 = (A1-λE1,B1,C1,D1) and sys2 = (A2-λE2,B2,C2,D2) and the corresponding frequency fpeak (in rad/TimeUnit), where the ν-gap distance achieves its peak value.

If freq = missing, the resulting nugapdist satisfies 0 <= nugapdist <= 1. The value nugapdist = 1 results, if the winding number is different of zero in which case fpeak = [].

If freq = ω, where ω is a given vector of real frequency values, the resulting nugapdist is a vector of pointwise ν-gap distances of the dimension of ω, whose components satisfies 0 <= maximum(nugapdist) <= 1. In this case, fpeak is the frequency for which the pointwise distance achieves its peak value. All components of nugapdist are set to 1 if the winding number is different of zero in which case fpeak = [].

The stability boundary offset, β, to be used to assess the finite zeros which belong to the boundary of the stability domain can be specified via the keyword parameter offset = β. Accordingly, for a continuous-time system, these are the finite zeros having real parts within the interval [-β,β], while for a discrete-time system, these are the finite zeros having moduli within the interval [1-β,1+β]. The default value used for β is sqrt(ϵ), where ϵ is the working machine precision.

Pencil reduction algorithms are employed to compute range and coimage spaces which perform rank decisions based on rank revealing QR-decompositions with column pivoting if fast = true or the more reliable SVD-decompositions if fast = false.

The keyword arguments atol1, atol2 and rtol, specify, respectively, the absolute tolerance for the nonzero elements of A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2, D1 and D2, the absolute tolerance for the nonzero elements of E1 and E2, and the relative tolerance for the nonzero elements of all above matrices. The default relative tolerance is n*ϵ, where ϵ is the working machine epsilon and n is the maximum of the orders of the systems sys1 and sys2. The keyword argument atol can be used to simultaneously set atol1 = atol, atol2 = atol.

The keyword argument rtolinf specifies the relative accuracy to be used to compute the ν-gap as the infinity norm of the relevant system according to [1]. The default value used for rtolinf is 0.00001.

Method: The evaluation of ν-gap uses the definition proposed in [1], extended to generalized LTI (descriptor) systems. The computation of winding number is based on enhancements covering zeros on the boundary of the stability domain and infinite zeros.

DescriptorSystems.freqrespFunction
 H = freqresp(sys, ω)

Compute the frequency response H of the descriptor system sys = (A-λE,B,C,D) at the real frequencies ω.

For a system with p outputs and m inputs, and for N frequency values in ω, H is a p × m × N array, where H[:,:,i] contains the i-th value of the frequency response computed as C*((w[i]*E - A)^-1)*B + D, where w[i] = im*ω[i] for a continuous-time system and w[i] = exp(im*ω[i]*|Ts|) for a discrete-time system with sampling time Ts.

Method: For an efficient evaluation of C*((w[i]*E - A)^-1)*B + D for many values of w[i], a preliminary orthogonal coordinate transformation is performed such that for the input-output equivalent transformed system sys = (At-λEt,Bt,Ct,Dt), the matrix w[i]*Et - At is upper Hessenberg. This allows an efficient computation of the frequency response using the Hessenberg-form based approach proposed in [1].

DescriptorSystems.timerespFunction
timeresp(sys, u, t, x0 = 0; interpolation = "zoh", state_history = false, 
         fast = true, atol = 0, atol1 = atol, atol2 = atol, rtol = n*ϵ) -> (y, tout, x)

Compute the time response of a proper descriptor system sys = (A-λE,B,C,D) to the input signals described by u and t. The time vector t consists of regularly spaced time samples. The matrix u has as many columns as the inputs of sys and its i-th row specifies the input values at time t[i]. For discrete-time models, u should be sampled at the same rate as sys if sys.Ts > 0 and t must have all time steps equal to sys.Ts or can be set to an empty vector. The vector x0 specifies the initial state vector at time t[1] and is set to zero when omitted.

The matrix y contains the resulting time history of the outputs of sys and the vector tout contains the corresponding values of the time samples. The i-th row of y contains the output values at time tout[i]. If the keyword parameter value state_history = false is used, then the matrix x contains the resulting time history of the state vector and its i-th row contains the state values at time tout[i]. By default, the state history is not computed and x = nothing.

For continuous-time models, the input values are interpolated between samples. By default, zero-order hold based interpolation is used. The linear interpolation method can be selected using the keyword parameter interpolation = "foh".

By default, the uncontrollable infinite eigenvalues and simple infinite eigenvalues of the pair (A,E) are eliminated. The underlying pencil manipulation algorithms employ rank determinations based on either the use of rank revealing QR-decomposition with column pivoting, if fast = true (default), or the SVD-decomposition, if fast = false. The rank decision based on the SVD-decomposition is generally more reliable, but the involved computational effort is higher.

The keyword arguments atol1, atol2 and rtol specify, respectively, the absolute tolerance for the nonzero elements of A, B, C, D, the absolute tolerance for the nonzero elements of E, and the relative tolerance for the nonzero elements of A, B, C, D and E. The default relative tolerance is n*ϵ, where n is the order of the square matrices A and E, and ϵ is the working machine epsilon. The keyword argument atol can be used to simultaneously set atol1 = atol and atol2 = atol.

         state_history = false, fast = true, atol = 0, atol1 = atol, atol2 = atol, rtol = n*ϵ) -> (y, tout, x)

Compute the step response of a proper descriptor system sys = (A-λE,B,C,D) to step input signals. The final time tfinal, if not specified, is set to 10 for a continuous-time system or to abs(sys.Ts)*timesteps for a discrete-time system, where the keyword argument timesteps specifies the number of desired simulation time steps (default: timesteps = 100). The keyword argument ustep is a vector with as many components as the inputs of sys and specifies the desired amplitudes of step inputs (default: all components are set to 1). The keyword argument x0 is a vector which specifies the initial state vector at time 0 and is set to zero when omitted.

If ns is the total number of simulation values, n the number of state components, p the number of system outputs and m the number of system inputs, then the resulting ns×p×m array y contains the resulting time histories of the outputs of sys, such that y[:,:,j] is the time response for the j-th input set to ustep[j] and the rest of inputs set to zero. The vector tout contains the corresponding values of the time samples. The i-th row y[i,:,j] contains the output values at time tout[i] of the j-th step response. If the keyword parameter value state_history = true is used, then the resulting ns×n×m arrayx contains the resulting time histories of the state vector and the i-th row x[i,:,j] contains the state values at time tout[i] of the j-th step response. By default, the state history is not computed and x = nothing.

DescriptorSystems.gbalqualFunction
qs = gbalqual(sys; SysMat = false)

Compute the 1-norm based scaling quality of the matrices of the descriptor system sys = (A-λE,B,C).

If SysMat = false, the resulting qs is computed as

    qs = max(qS(A),qS(E),qS(B),qS(C)) ,

where qS(⋅) is the scaling quality measure defined in Definition 5.5 of [1] for nonnegative matrices, extended to also cover matrices with zero rows or columns.

If SysMat = true, the resulting qs is computed as

    qs = qS(S) ,

where S is the system matrix defined as

         S =  ( abs(A)+abs(E)  abs(B) )
              (    abs(C)        0    )

A large value of qs indicates a possibly poorly scaled state-space model. For a standard system with E = I, the above formulas are used assuming E = 0.
