The Linear Systems Toolkit contains
66 m-functions that realize all the structural decompositions of linear
systems, and their properties (such as finite and infinite zero structures,
invertibility structure and geometric subspaces)
as well as applications (such as system factorizations and sensor
selection), documented in the
monograph, Linear Systems Theory: A Structural Decomposition Approach,
authored by B. M. Chen, Z. Lin and Y. Shamash (Birkhauser, Boston, 2004).
The beta version of this toolkit is currently available for free. Interested
readers might wish to register below. A zipped file that contains all
m-functions of the toolkit will then be sent to the registered
email addresses. Registered users will also automatically receive any advanced
version of the toolkit through email. Nonetheless, the owners of the toolkit
reserve all the rights.
Users should bear in mind that the toolkit downloaded from the web site or
received through email is free for use in research and academic work only.
Uses for other purposes, such as commercialization, commercial development
and redistribution without permission from the owners, are strictly prohibited.
The contents of the toolkit
can be viewed by clicking this link.
Some of these m-functions are interactive, which
require users to enter desired parameters when executed. Some are implemented
in a way that can return results either in a symbolic or numerical form.
Detailed descriptions of the toolkit and the user manual can be found in
Chapter 12 of the monograph.
Interested readers please
send us an email
with (1) your name; (2) email address; (3) institution; and (4) country.
A zipped file, linsyskit.zip, containing all the m-functions of
the toolkit will be sent to your email address.
Please note that we might verify your information first before sending out the package to you.
Once again, note that your information will be added to our database
for distribution of future versions.
