Transfer functions for infinite-dimensional systems
In this paper, we study three definitions of the transfer function for an infinite-dimensional system. The first one defines the transfer function as the expression . In the second definition, the transfer function is defined as the quotient of the Laplace transform of the output and input, with initial condition zero. In the third definition, we introduce the transfer function as the quotient of the input and output, when the input and output are exponentials. We show that these definitions always agree on the right-half plane bounded to the left by the growth bound of the underlying semigroup, but that they may differ elsewhere
Root locii for systems defined on Hilbert spaces
The root locus is an important tool for analysing the stability and time
constants of linear finite-dimensional systems as a parameter, often the gain,
is varied. However, many systems are modelled by partial differential equations
or delay equations. These systems evolve on an infinite-dimensional space and
their transfer functions are not rational. In this paper a rigorous definition
of the root locus for infinite-dimensional systems is given and it is shown
that the root locus is well-defined for a large class of infinite-dimensional
systems. As for finite-dimensional systems, any limit point of a branch of the
root locus is a zero. However, the asymptotic behaviour can be quite different
from that for finite-dimensional systems. This point is illustrated with a
number of examples. It is shown that the familiar pole-zero interlacing
property for collocated systems with a Hermitian state matrix extends to
infinite-dimensional systems with self-adjoint generator. This interlacing
property is also shown to hold for collocated systems with a skew-adjoint
generator
Realizations of infinite products, Ruelle operators and wavelet filters
Using the notions and tools from realization in the sense of systems theory,
we establish an explicit and new realization formula for families of infinite
products of rational matrix-functions of a single complex variable. Our
realizations of these resulting infinite products have the following four
features: 1) Our infinite product realizations are functions defined in an
infinite-dimensional complex domain. 2) Starting with a realization of a single
rational matrix-function , we show that a resulting infinite product
realization obtained from takes the form of an (infinite-dimensional)
Toeplitz operator with a symbol that is a reflection of the initial realization
for . 3) Starting with a subclass of rational matrix functions, including
scalar-valued corresponding to low-pass wavelet filters, we obtain the
corresponding infinite products that realize the Fourier transforms of
generators of wavelets. 4) We use both the
realizations for and the corresponding infinite product to produce a matrix
representation of the Ruelle-transfer operators used in wavelet theory. By
matrix representation we refer to the slanted (and sparse) matrix which
realizes the Ruelle-transfer operator under consideration.Comment: corrected versio
Approximate truncated balanced realizations for infinite dimensional systems
This paper presents an approximate method for obtaining truncated balance realizations of systems represented by non-rational transfer functions, that is infinite dimensional systems. It is based on the approximation to the Hankel operator
Riccati equations and normalized coprime factorizations for strongly stabilizable infinite-dimensional systems
The first part of the paper concerns the existence of strongly stabilizing solutions to the standard algebraic Riccati equation for a class of infinite-dimensional systems of the form Σ(A,B,S−1/2B*,D), where A is dissipative and all the other operators are bounded. These systems are not exponentially stabilizable and so the standard theory is not applicable. The second part uses the Riccati equation results to give formulas for normalized coprime factorizations over H∞ for positive real transfer functions of the form D+S−1/2B*(author−A)−1,B
