In this article, we study the singular case of an homogeneous generalized discrete time system with given initial conditions. We consider the matrix pencil singular and provide necessary and sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of solutions of the initial value problem.
In this article we focus our attention on the relation between a singular linear discrete time system and a singular linear system of fractional nabla difference equations whose coefficients are square constant matrices. By using matrix pencil theory, first we give necessary and sufficient condition to obtain a unique solution for the continuous time model. After by assuming that the input vector changes only at equally space sampling instants, we shall derive the corresponding discrete time state equation which yield the values of the solutions of the continuous time model which will connect the initial system to the singular linear system of fractional nabla difference equations.
The main objective of this article is to develop a matrix pencil approach for the study of the controllability and reachability of a class of linear singular discrete time systems. The description equation of a practical system may be established through selection of the proper state variables. Time domain analysis is the method of analyzing the system based on this description equation, through which we may gain a fair understanding of the system's structural features as well as its internal properties. Using time domain analysis, this article studies the fundamentals in system theory such as reachability and controllability.
