Abstract

An efficient computational method is presented for state space analysis of singular systems via Haar wavelets. Singular systems are those in which dynamics are governed by a combination of algebraic and differential equations. The corresponding differential-algebraic matrix equation is converted to a generalized Sylvester matrix equation by using Haar wavelet basis. First, an explicit expression for the inverse of the Haar matrix is presented. Then, using it, we propose a combined preorder and postorder traversal algorithm to solve the generalized Sylvester matrix equation. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed method is discussed by a numerical example.
