Abstract

We describe a Descriptor Systems Toolbox implemented under MATLAB. This Toolbox relies on the object oriented approach for control systems analysis and design provided within the standard Control Toolbox of MATLAB. The basic approach to develop the Descriptor Systems Toolbox was to exploit the powerful matrix and system object manipulation features of MATLAB via flexible and functionally rich high level m-functions, while simultaneously enforcing highly efficient and numerically sound structure exploiting computations via the mex-function technology of MATLAB to solve critical numerical problems. The mex-functions are based on FORTRAN codes from LAPACK and SLICOT
