Equivalent 2-D nonsingular Roesser models for discrete linear repetitive processes

The elementary operations algorithm is used to establish that a system matrix describing a discrete linear repetitive process can be transformed to that of a 2-D nonsingular Roesser model where all the input–output properties are preserved. Moreover, the connection between these system matrices is shown to be input–output equivalence. The exact forms of the resulting system matrix and the transformation involved are established. Some areas for possible future use/application of the developed results are also briefly discussed.
