  • Abstract
    This paper proposes an alternate representation of a matrix sign function based on an irrational function described by a continued fraction. The properties of the continued fraction and the truncated continued fractions are investigated. Also, new algorithms for computing the matrix sign function are developed. The matrix sign function is then extended to a generalised matrix sign function for directly solving discrete-time system problems.
