Abstract

Equations in descriptor variable form arises naturally in many applications, and are especially suited for the study of variable structure systems. This paper reviews the foundation concepts of solvability and conditionability and several of the general properties of linear descriptor variable systems. Particular attention is devoted to the time-invariant case where the descriptor variable theory is closely related to classical work. The shuffle algorithm and its theoretical implications are discussed.
