“…These include methods for stability analysis [2]- [6], analysis of finite-wordlength effects [7], [8], design [9], [10], model reduction [11]- [13], and relevant computation issues [14], [15]. Since many of the available analysis and design methods are applicable only to the 2-D transfer-function matrix, it is often necessary to derive the transfer-function matrix from a state-space description of the system.…”
