Scilab Function

canon - canonical controllable form

### Calling Sequence

  `[Ac,Bc,U,ind]=canon(A,B)`

### Parameters

- `Ac,Bc` : canonical form
- `U` : current basis (square nonsingular matrix)
- `ind` : vector of integers, controllability indices

### Description

gives the canonical controllable form of the pair `(A,B)` .

`Ac=inv(U)*A*U, Bc=inv(U)*B`

The vector `ind` is made of the `epsilon_i` 's indices of the pencil `[sI - A , B]` (decreasing order). For example with `ind=[3,2]` , `Ac` and `Bc` are as follows:

          [*,*,*,*,*]           [*]
          [1,0,0,0,0]           [0]
    Ac=   [0,1,0,0,0]        Bc=[0]
          [*,*,*,*,*]           [*]
          [0,0,0,1,0]           [0]

If `(A,B)` is controllable, by an appropriate choice of `F` the `*` entries of `Ac+Bc*F` can be arbitrarily set to desired values (pole placement).

### Examples

    A=[1,2,3,4,5;
       1,0,0,0,0;
       0,1,0,0,0;
       6,7,8,9,0;
       0,0,0,1,0];
    B=[1,2;
       0,0;
       0,0;
       2,1;
       0,0];
    X=rand(5,5);A=X*A*inv(X);B=X*B;    //Controllable pair
    [Ac,Bc,U,ind]=canon(A,B);  //Two indices --> ind=[3.2];
    index=1;for k=1:size(ind,'*')-1,index=[index,1+sum(ind(1:k))];end
    Acstar=Ac(index,:);Bcstar=Bc(index,:);
    s=poly(0,'s');
    p1=s^3+2*s^2-5*s+3;p2=(s-5)*(s-3);
    //p1 and p2 are desired closed-loop polynomials with degrees 3,2
    c1=coeff(p1);c1=c1($-1:-1:1);c2=coeff(p2);c2=c2($-1:-1:1);
    Acstardesired=[-c1,0,0;0,0,0,-c2];
    //Acstardesired(index,:) is companion matrix with char. pol=p1*p2
    F=Bcstar\(Acstardesired-Acstar);   //Feedbak gain
    Ac+Bc*F         // Companion form
    spec(A+B*F/U)   // F/U is the gain matrix in original basis.
