From owner-help-octave at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Fri Dec 15 10:57:20 1995 Subject: Octave Controls toolbox update From: "A. Scottedward Hodel" To: help-octave at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Date: Fri, 15 Dec 1995 10:57:16 -0600 The original controls toolbox was developed by my grad students about 1.5 years ago. A beta release updated controls toolbox for Octave is available by anon ftp at ftp.eng.auburn.edu in pub/hodel/OctContr951215.tar.gz. Changes include: Updated Demo program new texinfo documentation (still quite terse) improved tests for controllability/observability via Krylov subspace techniques improved block diagram manipulation with packed system format LQG/H2/Hinf controller design (tutorials not yet written) The LQG/H2/Hinf code is not as general as Matlab's toolbox yet. I've only implemented what's in the standard texts and the DGKF paper, which requires some orthogonality conditions on input/output matrices (no cross-correlation). Discrete-time controller design needs implemented yet as well. The tar file can be unloaded directly onto octave-1.1.1, i.e. cd octave-1.1.1 gunzip -c OctContr951215.tar.gz | tar -xvf - configure make make install Only those files updated from octave-1.1.1 are included in the tar file. I welcome any bug-reports and suggestions. This work is being done under contract, so some suggestions will get a faster response than others. :-) My current priorities are improved documentation and eliminating duplicated code [transparent to the user].
