Abstract

Singular systems (differential-algebraic systems, descriptor variable systems, generalized state space systems, semistate systems, singular singularly perturbed systems, degenerate systems, constrained systems, etc.), which have been investigated over the past decades, are rather general kind of equations [4, 19]. They are established according to relationships among the variables. Naturally, it is usually differential or algebraic equations that form the mathematical model of the system, or the descriptor equation.
