Thank you very much I do not know about it. It is very useful :-)
But I still search for software for symbolic matrix - vector - scalar
manipulations/computations. This package above is very useful for people who
work with concrete values in their matrices, vectors or polynomials, but I
want to work only on symbolic matrix vector scalar manipulations. I currently
work on ILC (iterative learning control) system, where I have to manipulate
on equations of vector - matrix such as those below (where big letters
denotes matrices and small letters denotes vectors):
eq: e(r+1, k+1) = (I-C.B.K2) . e(r, k+1) - (C.B.K1 + A.C) . z(r+1, k)
above I obtain closed loop system and then I want to use Lyapunov function to
derive LMIs (Linear Matrix Inequalities) to compute K1 and K2 from LMIs.
Currently in maxima I can obtain only similar result when I use operator "*"
instead of '.', because no simplification is made and the order of matrices
is not preserved.
When I use operator '.' I got:
e(r+1, k+1) = - C.B.K2 . e(r, k+1) - C.B.K1 . z(r+1, k)
- C.A . z(r+1, k) + e(r, k+1)
I know that in such simple example there is no problem, but when we have e.g.
50 or more matrices there is a problem and I want to use maxima for this
cases.
Thank you.
