State-space Realisations of Linear 2-D Systems with Extensions to the General nD (n > 2) case

This book demonstrates the newly developed Elementary Operations Algorithm (EOA). This is a systematic method for constructing a range of state-space realizations for 2-D systems.

The key achievements of the monograph are as follows:

- It provides a research-level introduction to the general area and undertakes a comparative critical review of previous approaches.

- It gives a thorough coverage of the theoretical basis of the EOA algorithm.

- It demonstrates the effectiveness of the EOA algorithm, for example, through the use of algebraic symbolic computing (using MAPLE), as well as by comparing this method with common alternatives.
