Professor John S. Baras Solutions to Homework Set #5 Problem 1

Problem 2

Problem 3

So the answer to (a) is that

=3.

And this construction provides the answer to (c). To answer (b) we have from above that the least common multiple of the denominators of the elements of is d(s) = (s + 1)(s + 2). So following Theorem 5.5.38, = N(s) / d(s), where s + 2 2( s + 2) N ( s) = s +1 1

Then the g.c.d.s of the subdeterminants of N(s) are D1(s) = 1 D2(s) = (s +2)(s +1) + 2 (s +2) = (s +2)(s +3) And therefore the Smith form of N(s) is

0 1 N ( s) 0 ( s + 2)( s + 3)
Therefore the McMillan canonical form of is then

1 ( s + 1)( s + 2) T (s) 0
So the poles (three) of

( s + 3) ( s + 1) 0

are -1, -1, -2, while there is only one zero at -3.
