simp

rational simplification

Syntax

[N1,D1] = simp(N,D)
H1 = simp(H)

Arguments

N, D

real polynomials or real matrix polynomials

H

rational matrix (i.e matrix with entries n/d ,n and d real polynomials)

Description

[n1,d1]=simp(n,d) calculates two polynomials n1 and d1 such that n1/d1 = n/d.

If N and D are polynomial matrices the calculation is performed element-wise.

H1=simp(H) is also valid (each entry of H is simplified in H1).

  • no threshold is given, i.e. simp cannot forces a simplification.
  • For linear dynamic systems which include integrator(s) simplification changes the static gain. (H(0) for continuous systems or H(1) for discrete systems).
  • For complex data, simp returns its input(s).
  • Rational simplification is called after nearly each operations on rationals. It is possible to toggle simplification on or off using simp_mode function.

Examples

s = poly(0,'s');
[n,d] = simp((s+1)*(s+2),(s+1)*(s-2))

simp_mode(%F); hns = s/s
simp_mode(%T); hns = s/s
