A survey on applications of semi-tensor product method in engineering

Semi-tensor product (STP) of matrices has attracted more and more attention from both control theory and engineering in the last two decades. This paper presents a comprehensive survey on the applications of STP method in engineering. Firstly, some preliminary results on STP method are recalled. Secondly, some applications of STP method in engineering, including gene regulation, power system, wireless communication, smart grid, information security, combustion engine and vehicle control, are reviewed. Finally, some potential applications of STP method are predicted
