hankelsv

Compute Hankel singular values for stable/unstable or continuous/discrete system

Syntax

hankelsv(G)
hankelsv(G,ErrorType,style)
[sv_stab,sv_unstab]=hankelsv(G,ErrorType,style)

Description

[sv_stab,sv_unstab]=hankelsv(G,ErrorType,style) returns a column vector SV_STAB containing the Hankel singular values of the stable part of G and SV_UNSTAB of anti-stable part (if it exists). The Hankel SV's of anti-stable part ss(a,b,c,d) is computed internally via ss(-a,-b,c,d). Discrete model is converted to continuous one via the bilinear transform.

hankelsv(G) with no output arguments draws a bar graph of the Hankel singular values such as the following:

Algorithms

IfErrorType = 'add', then hankelsv implements the numerically robust square root method to compute the Hankel singular values [1]. Its algorithm goes as follows:

Given a stable model G, with controllability and observability grammians P and Q, compute the SVD of P and Q:

[Up,Sp,Vp] = svd(P);
[Uq,Sq,Vq] = svd(Q);

Then form the square roots of the grammians:

Lr = Up*diag(sqrt(diag(Sp)));
Lo = Uq*diag(sqrt(diag(Sq)));

The Hankel singular values are simply:

σH =svd(Lo'*Lr);

This method not only takes the advantages of robust SVD algorithm, but also ensure the computations stay well within the “square root” of the machine accuracy.

If ErrorType = 'mult', then hankelsv computes the Hankel singular value of the phase matrix of G [2].

If ErrorType = 'ncf', then hankelsv computes the Hankel singular value of the normalized coprime factor pair of the model [3].
