Over the past decade a new approach has been introduced to the theory of systems representations. Introduced by Jan C. Willems, it is called the behavioural approach. One of its main features is that it is well suited for modelling interconnections of systems. In this book, the author develops representation theory from a behavioural point of view and focuses on various types of (generalized state space) first-order representations that commonly arise in the process of modelling. It covers minimality, derives transformation groups and offers realization methods that lead directly to minimal...

This book is about the theory of system representations. The systems that are considered are linear, time-invariant, deterministic and finite- dimensional. The observation that some representations are more suitable for handling a particular problem than others motivates the study of rep- resentations. In modeling a system, a representation often arises naturally from certain laws that underlie the system. In its most general form the representation then consists of dynamical equations for the system compo- nents and of constraint equations reflecting the connection between these components....
