β¦ Synopsis
An algorithm is developed to generate a class of matrices N which, when nonsingular, red& a co&a@ square matrix A by a kmilarit~ transfomnation C = NAN-l to the Cwnpanion form. The coeficients of the characteristic equation 1 s1 -A 1 = 0 are dkplayed in the last row of C: stability of the multivariable system % = AX may thus be determined by the Routh-Hurwits procedure. If the system is stable, Liapunov functions may be genwated by further transformation of C to Routh or Sch.warz canonical forms. The former is particularly useful for calculation of quadratic furdionuls of the response stemming from non-zero initial conditions x(O) I The algorithm is used to produce a generalized Vandermonde matrix which relates a companion m&ix with repeated eigenvalues to the Jordati canonical form.
