Matrices are effective tools for the modelling and analysis of dynamical systems. Professor Kaczorek gives an overview of new results in the application of polynomial and rational matrices to continuous- and discrete-time systems. The book is self-contained, beginning with important basics such as the Cayley–Hamilton theorem and definitions and elementary operations of polynomial and rational matrices and moving on to cover such topics as: • normal matrices (including their realisation); • rational and algebraic polynomial matrix equations; • perfect observers for and realisation of linear systems; and • new results on positive linear discrete- and continuous-time systems with delays.
