Reduction of a connection matrix for multirate sampled systems

The authors present the connection matrix reduction method (CMR) which allows to find the globals transfers functions of multiloop, multivariable, single or multirate, synchronous or asynchronous sampled systems. It deals basically with the matrix reduction algorithm proposed by Munro (1977) and with the node pick criterion originally developed in this job. Kranc's (1957) expansion method is adopted to treat the multirate problem and the jumping sampler is used to treat the asynchronous problem.<
