Development of nD Control System Toolbox for use with MATLAB

The purpose of this paper is to describe some main aspects on the development of an integrated CAD Toolbox for nD system theory, named nD Control System Toolbox, for use with the software product MATLAB and the associated Extended Symbolic Math Toolbox. The developed toolbox consists of several functional packages which provide various basic tools and facilities for both numerical and symbolic manipulations required in analysis and synthesis of 2D control systems such as stability test, factor coprime factorizations and solution of various linear matrix equations, etc. that usually involve very complicated procedures.
