syslin — linear system definition
[sl]=syslin(dom,A,B,C [,D [,x0] ]) [sl]=syslin(dom,N,D) [sl]=syslin(dom,H)
character string ('c',
'd'), or [] or a
scalar.
matrices of the state-space representation
(D optional with default value zero matrix). For
improper systems D is a polynomial matrix.
vector (initial state; default value is
0)
polynomial matrices
rational matrix or linear state space representation
tlist ("syslin" list) representing the
linear system
syslin defines a linear system as a list and
checks consistency of data.
dom specifies the time domain of the system and
can have the following values:
dom='c' for a continuous time system,
dom='d' for a discrete time system,
n for a sampled system with sampling period
n (in seconds).
dom=[] if the time domain is undefined
State-space representation:
sl=syslin(dom,A,B,C [,D [,x0] ])
represents the system :

The output of syslin is a list of the following
form:
sl=tlist(['lss','A','B','C','D','X0','dt'],A,B,C,D,x0,dom)
Note that D is allowed to be a polynomial matrix
(improper systems).
Transfer matrix representation:
sl=syslin(dom,N,D)
sl=syslin(dom,H)
The output of syslin is a list of the following
form : sl=tlist(['r','num','den','dt'],N,D,dom) or
sl=tlist(['r','num','den','dt'],H(2),H(3),dom).
Linear systems defined as syslin can be
manipulated as usual matrices (concatenation, extraction, transpose,
multiplication, etc) both in state-space or transfer
representation.
Most of state-space control functions receive a
syslin list as input instead of the four matrices
defining the system.
