Developed a software package employing eigenvector transformations to computes the exact algebraic solution to a coupled system of linear, first order, ordinary differential equations subject to a set of parameterized forcing function vectors and initial control conditions.
This package became used in a feedback control system course at Cornell University in the college of Electrical Engineering. The package was written in FORTRAN, employing the EISPACK HQR2 facility to compute the eigenvector transformations (the EISPACK modules have since been replace with LAPACK)
The solution is derived by transforming the system to an uncoupled reference plane, analytically solving the uncoupled set of differential equations, and then transforming the solution back to the original vector space. |
