pfss - partial fraction decomposition

### Calling Sequence

  `elts=pfss(Sl)`
  `elts=pfss(Sl,rmax)`
  `elts=pfss(Sl,'cord')`
  `elts=pfss(Sl,rmax,'cord')`

### Parameters

- `Sl` `syslin` list (state-space or transfer linear system) rmax : real number controlling the conditioning of block diagoanalization cord : character string `'c'` or `'d'` .

### Description

Partial fraction decomposition of the linear system `Sl` (in state-space form, transfer matrices are automatically converted to state-space form by `tf2ss` ):

`elts` is the list of linear systems which add up to `Sl` i.e. `elts=list(S1,S2,S3,...,Sn)` with:

`Sl = S1 + S2 +... +Sn` .

Each `Si` contains some poles of `` S according to the block-diagonalization of the `A` matrix of `S` .

For non proper systems the polynomial part of `Sl` is put in the last entry of `elts` .

If `Sl` is given in transfer form, it is first converted into state-space and each subsystem `Si` is then converted in transfer form.

The A matrix is of the state-space is put into block diagonal form by function `bdiag` . The optional parameter `rmax` is sent to `bdiag` . If `rmax` should be set to a large number to enforce block-diagonalization.

If the optional flag `cord='c'` is given the elements in `elts` are sorted according to the real part (resp. magnitude if `cord='d'` ) of the eigenvalues of A matrices.

### Examples

    W=ssrand(1,1,6);
    elts=pfss(W);
    W1=0;for k=1:size(elts), W1=W1+ss2tf(elts(k));end
    clean(ss2tf(W)-W1)
