The Second Edition of this book includes an abundance of examples to illustrate advanced concepts and brings out in a text book setting the algorithms for bivariate polynomial matrix factorization results that form the basis of two-dimensional systems theory. Algorithms and their implementation using symbolic algebra are emphasized.
From the reviews of the second edition:
"This new edition presents new results and streamlines the topics. ... There are 352 references and an index. This is a valuable book being both introductory in nature and oriented towards recent developments." (A. Akutowicz, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1046 (21), 2004)
