A Generalized Approach to q-Markov Covariance Equivalent Realizations for Discrete Systems

A new algorithm is developed which constructs q-Markov covariance equivalent realizations (q-Markov COVERs) of discrete systems. The algorithm generates the q-Markov COVERs of the discrete system starting with only the basic data, namely the q-Markov parameters and the q covariance parameters. The algorithm leads to a parameterization of a class of q-Markov COVERs which can be constructed from this basic data.
