Numerical Linear Algebra
where the algebra stops being the arithmetic
Ladder

Data driven realisation — the ladder

One essay so far against this idea. A ladder is the distinct arguments that stand against one idea, and this one has room to grow.

    A model with no matrices behind it

    Twenty-four numbers — values of a transfer function at twenty-four points — produce a sixth-order model of a forty-state system that passes through every sample to 10⁻¹² and matches the function it never saw to 10⁻⁹. Noise of 10⁻¹⁰ on those numbers takes the rank decision's gap from 10⁸ to 4.
