Abstract
First we determine necessary and for some cases also sufficient conditions for
a polynomial to be the characteristic polynomial of a matrix with elements in
R
max. Then we indicate how to construct a matrix such that its
characteristic polynomial is equal to a given monic polynomial in
S
max, the extension of R
max. Next we use these results to
develop a procedure to find the minimal state space realization of a single
input single output (SISO) discrete event system, given its Markov parameters.
