pole

Compute poles of LTI system

Syntax

pole

Description

pole computes the poles p of the SISO or MIMO LTI model sys.

Algorithm

For state-space models, the poles are the eigenvalues of the matrix, or the generalized eigenvalues of in the descriptor case.

For SISO transfer functions or zero-pole-gain models, the poles are simply the denominator roots (see roots).

For MIMO transfer functions (or zero-pole-gain models), the poles are computed as the union of the poles for each SISO entry. If some columns or rows have a common denominator, the roots of this denominator are counted only once.

Limitations

Multiple poles are numerically sensitive and cannot be computed to high accuracy. A pole with multiplicity typically gives rise to a cluster of computed poles distributed on a circle with center and radius of order

where is the relative machine precision (eps).
