Let E ∼= (Z/p)r (r ≥ 2) be an elementary abelian p-group and let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. A finite dimensional kE-module M is said to have constant Jordan type if the restriction of M to every cyclic shifted subgroup of kE has the same Jordan canonical form. I shall begin by discussing theorems and conjectures which restrict the possible Jordan canonical form. The...

In this paper, an algorithm for the computation of the Jordan canonical form of regular matrix polynomials is proposed. The new method contains rank conditions of suitably defined block Toeplitz matrices and it does not require the computation of the Jordan chains or the Smith form. The Segré and Weyr characteristics are also considered.

The suggested methods for solving fault diagnosis and estimation problems are based on the use of Jordan canonical form. diagnostic observer, virtual sensor, interval, sliding mode observer design considered. Algorithms have been developed to solve these both linear nonlinear systems, considering presence external disturbances measurement noise. It has shown that form allows reducing dimensions...

It is shown that, for any time-invariant exponentially stable linear systemwith additive disturbances, time-varying exponentially stable interval observers can be constructed. The technique of construction relies on the Jordan canonical form that any real matrix admits and on time-varying changes of coordinates for elementary Jordan blocks which lead to cooperative linear systems. The approach ...

We complete the analysis of the symmetry algebra L for systems of n second-order linear ODEs with constant real coefficients, by studying the case of coefficient matrices having a non-diagonal Jordan canonical form. We also classify the Levi factor (maximal semisimple subalgebra) of L, showing that it is completely determined by the Jordan form. A universal formula for the dimension of the symm...
