Control of Linear Systems

The book presents new results on matrices, on polynomial matrices, on matrix polynomials and on the new compact, simple and elegant calculus that enabled the generalization of the transfer function matrix concept and of the state concept, the proofs of the new observability, controllability and tracking condtions.
