### 27.3 Products of Polynomials

— Function File: conv (a, b)

> Convolve two vectors.

> `y = conv (a, b)` returns a vector of length equal to `length (a) + length (b) - 1`. If a and b are polynomial coefficient vectors, `conv` returns the coefficients of the product polynomial.

> See also: deconv, poly, roots, residue, polyval, polyderiv, polyinteg.

— Function File: deconv (y, a)

> Deconvolve two vectors.

> `[b, r] = deconv (y, a)` solves for b and r such that `y = conv (a, b) + r`.

> If y and a are polynomial coefficient vectors, b will contain the coefficients of the polynomial quotient and r will be a remainder polynomial of lowest order.

> See also: conv, poly, roots, residue, polyval, polyderiv, polyinteg.

— Loadable Function: y = conv2 (a, b, shape)
— Loadable Function: y = conv2 (v1, v2, M, shape)

> Returns 2D convolution of a and b where the size of c is given by

> shape= 'full'
>   returns full 2-D convolution
> shape= 'same'
>   same size as a. 'central' part of convolution
> shape= 'valid'
>   only parts which do not include zero-padded edges

> By default shape is 'full'. When the third argument is a matrix returns the convolution of the matrix M by the vector v1 in the column direction and by vector v2 in the row direction

— Function File: q = polygcd (b, a, tol)

> Find greatest common divisor of two polynomials. This is equivalent to the polynomial found by multiplying together all the common roots. Together with deconv, you can reduce a ratio of two polynomials. Tolerance defaults to

>               sqrt(eps).

> Note that this is an unstable algorithm, so don't try it on large polynomials.

> Example

>               polygcd (poly(1:8), poly(3:12)) - poly(3:8)
>               => [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ]
>               deconv (poly(1:8), polygcd (poly(1:8), poly(3:12))) ...
>                 - poly(1:2)
>               => [ 0, 0, 0 ]

> See also: poly, polyinteg, polyderiv, polyreduce, roots, conv, deconv, residue, filter, polyval, and polyvalm.

— Function File: [r, p, k, e] = residue (b, a)

> Compute the partial fraction expansion for the quotient of the polynomials, b and a.

>                B(s)    M       r(m)         N
>                ---- = SUM -------------  + SUM k(i)*s^(N-i)
>                A(s)   m=1 (s-p(m))^e(m)    i=1

> where M is the number of poles (the length of the r, p, and e), the k vector is a polynomial of order N-1 representing the direct contribution, and the e vector specifies the multiplicity of the mth residue's pole.

> For example,

>               b = [1, 1, 1];
>               a = [1, -5, 8, -4];
>               [r, p, k, e] = residue (b, a);
>               => r = [-2; 7; 3]
>               => p = [2; 2; 1]
>               => k = [](0x0)
>               => e = [1; 2; 1]

> which represents the following partial fraction expansion

>                       s^2 + s + 1       -2        7        3
>                  ------------------- = ----- + ------- + -----
>                  s^3 - 5s^2 + 8s - 4   (s-2)   (s-2)^2   (s-1)

> — Function File: [b, a] = residue (r, p, k)
> — Function File: [b, a] = residue (r, p, k, e)

> > Compute the reconstituted quotient of polynomials, b(s)/a(s), from the partial fraction expansion; represented by the residues, poles, and a direct polynomial specified by r, p and k, and the pole multiplicity e.

> > If the multiplicity, e, is not explicitly specified the multiplicity is determined by the script mpoles.m.

> > For example,

> >               r = [-2; 7; 3];
> >               p = [2; 2; 1];
> >               k = [1, 0];
> >               [b, a] = residue (r, p, k);
> >               => b = [1, -5, 9, -3, 1]
> >               => a = [1, -5, 8, -4]

> >               where mpoles.m is used to determine e = [1; 2; 1]

> > Alternatively the multiplicity may be defined explicitly, for example,

> >               r = [7; 3; -2];
> >               p = [2; 1; 2];
> >               k = [1, 0];
> >               e = [2; 1; 1];
> >               [b, a] = residue (r, p, k, e);
> >               => b = [1, -5, 9, -3, 1]
> >               => a = [1, -5, 8, -4]
