Pierre,

Thanks for your answer.

However, I believe no involved computatins are required to get the correct result. The multiplication of the two polynomials from the denominators is straightforward, no need to solve any system, no risk of ill-conditioned or badly-scaled matrices.

This must be another kind of problem.

Regards,

Hello Federico

I have met few months or years ago this problem when i was developping my  « OPTSIM Solution » software to fix parameters of a PID for turbines (30 mw to 2 gw) in Nyquist and Bode Plans with hydraulic parameters site

So I’ve seen instability of the denominator, witch damage calculus.

I don ‘t remember what I’ve done to get a cool solution, but it  has been a hard and severe problem with syslin, tf2ss and ss2tf instructions

Sincerely

Pierre P.

*Objet :* [Scilab-users] Strange behaviour of prod on rationals


Dear all,

Look at this code (the coefficients are actually the result of pevious calculations):

NUM = [5.858D-09 + 2.011D-08*%s + 4.884D-08*%s^2 ...
5.858D-09 + 8.796D-10*%s + 7.028D-10*%s^2]
DEN = [0.1199597 + 7.2765093*%s + %s^2 ...
       8.336136 + 7.0282601*%s + %s^2]
q = NUM./DEN

Running it yields

   5.858D-09 +2.011D-08s +4.884D-08s²  5.858D-09 +8.796D-10s +7.028D-10s²
   ---------------------------------- ----------------------------------
       0.1199597 +7.2765093s +s²            8.336136 +7.0282601s +s²

This is, correctly, a two-component rational vector with the expected numerators and denominators.

Now let's evaluate

q = prod(NUM./DEN)

The prod documantation sys that the argument may be "an array of reals, complex, booleans, polynomials or rational fractions". It should provide the rational obtained by multiplying the twonumrators and the two denominators. However, we get

   3.432D-17 +1.230D-16s +3.079D-16s² +5.709D-17s³ +3.432D-17s⁴
------------------------------------------------------------
1

The numeratoris right, but the expected denominator has been just replaced by 1

However, rewriting the command as

prod(NUM)/prod(DEN)

we get the expected result:

   3.432D-17 +1.230D-16s +3.079D-16s² +5.709D-17s³ +3.432D-17s⁴
------------------------------------------------------------
       1.0000004 +61.501079s +59.597296s² +14.304769s³ +s⁴

This is quite strange!

Now we repeat with simpler polynomials:

NUM = [1-%s 2-%s]
DEN = [1+%s 2+%s]
q = NUM./DEN

We get

   1 -s  2 -s
   ----  ----
   1 +s  2 +s

Now evaluate

prod(NUM./DEN)

The result is the expected one!

   2 -3s +s²
   ---------
   2 +3s +s²

The behavior seems to depend on the type of polynomials.

Is this a bug or there is something I'm not interpreting correctly?

Regards,

Federico Miyara
