Matrix pencil representation of structural transformations of passive electrical networks

The paper examines the problem of systems redesign within the context of passive electrical networks by considering the problem of multi-parameter and topology changes, and their representation. This representation may be used to investigate the impact of such changes on properties such as characteristic frequencies. The general problem area is the modelling of systems, whose structure is not fixed but evolves during the system life-cycle. The specific problem we are addressing is the study of effect of changing the topology of an electrical network that is changing individual elements of the network into elements of different type and value, augmenting / or eliminating parts of the network and developing a framework that allows the study of the effect of such transformations on the natural frequencies. This problem is a special case of the more general network redesign problem. We use the Impedance-Admittance models and we establish a representation of the different types of transformations on such models. The representation of the structural transformations is given in terms of the companion pencil that preserves the natural topologies of the RLC network
