Realizations of uncertain systems and formal power series

Abstract

Rational functions of several noncommuting indeterminates arise naturally in robust control when studying systems with structured uncertainty. Linear fractional transformations (LFTs) provide a convenient way of obtaining realizations of such systems and a complete realization theory of LFTs is emerging. This paper establishes connections between a minimal LFT realization and minimal realizations of a formal power series, which have been studied extensively in a variety of disciplines. The result is a fairly complete generalization of standard minimal realization theory for linear systems to the formal power series and LFT setting.
