Abstract:
For dynamic systems described by differential equations with smooth functions in the state space, the size of the parameter space is minimized such that the input-output image of the system is preserved by finding the complete set of algebraic invariants for a fixed structure of the equations of the system. A relationship between the constructs of the algebra of functions used in the problem and the mathematical constructs used in the differential geometric approach is established. A method for finding the algebraic invariants – the analogs of Markov parameters of linear systems – is described.
