Abstract
It is shown that the asymptotic values of the invariant zeros and associated zero-directions of multivariable systems with ‘slow’ and ‘ fast ’ modes can be readily computed by considering separately the system matrices associated with the ‘ slow ’ and ‘ fast ’ sub-systems of such systems. The general results are illustrated by determining both the ‘ slow ’ and ‘ fast ’ invariant zeros and associated zero-directions of a third-order system with ‘ slow ’ and ‘ fast ’ modes.
