routh_t

Arguments

p

a real polynomial

h

a real SISO transfer system

k

a real polynomial or a scalar

normalized

a boolean (%t (default value) or %f)

r

a matrix

Description

r=routh_t(p) computes Routh's table of the polynomial h.

r=routh_t(h,k) computes Routh's table of denominator of the system described by transfer matrix SISO h with the feedback by the gain k.

If k=poly(0,'k') we will have a polynomial or a rational matrix with dummy variable k, formal expression of the Routh table.

If normalized=%f we will have a polynomial matrix with non normalized elements. In the other case, we will have a rational and normalized matrix.

Examples

s=%s;
P=5*s^3-10*s^2+7*s+20;
routh_t(P)

// Transfer function with formal feedback, normalized case
routh_t((1+s)/P,poly(0,'k'))
    
// Transfer function with formal feedback, non normalized case
routh_t((1+s)/P,poly(0,'k'),%f)

// One of the coefficients in the polynomial equals zero
P1=2*s^3-24*s+32; 
routh_t(P1)

// A row full of zeros
P2=s^4-6*s^3+10*s^2-6*s+9;
routh_t(P2)
