Polish Academy of Sciences}, language={eng}, abstract={The paper deals with the cvaluation of structural propcrties of continuous, linear, time invariant systems by resorting to suitable matrices formed by the numerator coefficients of the transfer functions connecting the inputs to the state components and suitable dummy inputs to the outputs. Previous results obtained by the authors regarding controllability of single input-single output systems are extended to the observability analysis and to the case of multiinput-multioutput systems. The elements of the above mentioned matrices arc then interpreted in terms of branch transferences of signal flow graphs, corresponding to conveniently suggested "canonical" forms. Some methods are presented for the computation of the above mentioned matrices, with reference also to the signal flow graphs of the input-state-output relations.}, title={Proceedings of the 3rd Italian-Polish conference on applications of systems theory to economy, management and technology: Białowieża, Poland, May 26-31, 1976 * Optimization and control theory * Signal flow graphs and structural properties of linear systems}, type={Text}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/Content/198235/PDF/KS-1977-01-R01P03.pdf}, }
