Recent progress in polynomial methods and Polynomial Toolbox for Matlab version 2.0

The use of polynomial matrices and equations in linear systems and signals is surveyed and progress is reported that has mainly been achieved in numerical algorithms. The new generation routines for polynomial matrices are both faster and more reliable. They make industrial applications of the polynomial methods possible in the fields of control and signal processing. Based on the new algorithms, a new software package-Polynomial Toolbox for Matlab Version 2.0-has been developed that is powerful, object oriented and user-friendly.
