Compound matrices in systems and control theory

Optimization and Control 2021-03-30 v1

Abstract

The multiplicative and additive compounds of a matrix play an important role in several fields of mathematics including geometry, multi-linear algebra, combinatorics, and the analysis of nonlinear time-varying dynamical systems. There is a growing interest in applications of these compounds, and their generalizations, in systems and control theory. This tutorial paper provides a gentle introduction to these topics with an emphasis on the geometric interpretation of the compounds, and surveys some of their recent applications.
