minors of R ; A [ [ R ; p t ] is the Mcl\Iillan degree of the pole pn of R and IVote Added in Proof: Recent work shows that condition (9) rea [ R ] = ~~= l A I R ; p k ] [24]. quires that the return difference I + F&(s) not have a zero of Corollary 1: Let (?be defined by (3) and let L Y~ be defined by Fact 3. transmission at, P, = 1 7 % ' ' . J 1271. Under these conditions, for any k E { 1, 2,. . .,l] for which Re P k > 0, REFEREXCES det X k ( p s ) # 0 if and only if where in the triangular Hankel matrix, t.he Rka's are the coefficient matrices of R k defined by (4). Proof: From (17) and (19)-(20),m ) l ; hence and for any integer Bk > -,t lim (spk)'*det [I + F&(s)] = 0. Hence, by Lemma 2, (9) is true if and only if Q[det [ I f Fk] : p k ] = 7s. Let [ A , B, C , 01 be any minimal realization of the strictly proper element R of CnXn(s) defined by (15); then, because of the coprime factorization (16), det D ( s ) = c det (SI --4) [lti], [20]. S o a d e t (SI - 0). 1 : is still valid for poles on the boundary (i.e., Re pk = 0) whenever Gp(s) is meromorphic in a neighborhood of such p s . This will always be the case for differential delay systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
