A formal theory of matrix primeness
Primeness of nD polynomial matrices is of fundamental importance in multidimensional systems theory. In this paper we define a quantity which describes the "amount of primeness" of a matrix and identify it as the concept of grade in commutative algebra. This enables us to produce a theory which unifies many existing results, such as the Bezout identities and complementation laws, while placing them on a firm algebraic footing. We also present applications to autonomous systems, behavioural minimality of regular systems, and transfer matrix factorization.

Abstract

Primeness of nD polynomial matrices is of fundamental importance in multidimensional systems theory. In this paper we define a quantity which describes the "amount of primeness" of a matrix and identify it as the concept of grade in commutative algebra. This enables us to produce a theory which unifies many existing results, such as the Bezout identities and complementation laws, while placing them on a firm algebraic footing. We also present applications to autonomous systems, behavioural minimality of regular systems, and transfer matrix factorization.
