spoles

Calculate the eigenvalues of a SYSTEM A matrix

Syntax

out = spoles(sys)

Description
spoles returns the eigenvalues of the A matrix from the SYSTEM matrix sys.

Examples
Find the poles of the two input, one output, three state SYSTEM matrx sys.

A = [1 1 1; 3 1 1; 1 1 -2]; 
B = 2*ones(3,2); 
C = 3*ones(1,3); 
D = 4*ones(1,2); 
sys = pck(A,B,C,D);

Algorithm
spoles uses the MATLAB command schur to find the eigenvalues of the SYSTEM A matrix. This is a more numerically reliable method than using the eig function.
