Abstract:

A method of digital computer oriented analysis of a Mason flow graph is presented. Using this method in connection with a computer program implementing the algebraic manipulation language FORMAC can be a tool in expanding large determinants with symbolic polynomial elements and thereby finding the characteristic equation and transfer functions of a linear time-invariant system in symbolic form. Also a new approach to the root locus method is shown, using a FORMAC program. The advantages over the conventional root locus method are discussed. Areas of possible future use of FORMAC in algebraic problems of control theory are discussed. Author
