To check whether a SISO system is detectable

Information

This function checks whether a SISO state space system is detectable or not.

A system is detectable for the continuous-time case if all of the unobservable eigenvalues have negative real part or for the discrete-time case if all of the unobservable eigenvalues are in the complex unit circle respectively. Hence, a oberservable system is always detectable of course.

As observability is a dual concept of controllability, the concept of detectability is dual to stabilizability, that is, a system is detectable if the pair (A', C') is stabilizable. Therefore, the same algorithm to check stabilizability are applied to the dual pair (A', C') of the system:

To check stabilizability (see Modelica_LinearSystems2.StateSpace.Analysis.isStabilizable) , the system is transformed to upper controller Hessenberg form

| * * ⋯ ⋯ * | | * |
| * * ⋯ ⋯ * | | 0 |
Q*A*Q ' = H = | 0     *     ⋯     ⋯   * |,   Q*b = q = | ⋮ |,   c*Q = ( *, ⋯, * )
| ⋮ ⋱ ⋱ ⋱ ⋮ | | ⋮ |
| 0 ⋯ 0 * * | | 0 |

The system can be partitioned to

H=[H11,H12; H21, H22], q=[q1;0],

where the pair (H11, q1) contains the controllable part of the system, that is, rank(H) = rank(H11). For stabilizability the H22 has to be stable.
