Algebraic Analysis Applied to the Theory of Linear Dynamical Systems

Abstract

The expression "Algebraic Analysis" was coined by Mikio Sato. It consists of using algebraic notions to solve analytic problem. The origin of Algebraic Analysis is Algebraic Geometry as was developed by Alexander Grothendieck and his school. Mimicking the introduction of Grothendieck's EGA (changing only a few words) one obtains a good definition of the modern theory of linear dynamical systems, as developed by Michel Fliess, Ian Willems, Ulrich Oberst and others.
