Patches

Updated and revised macros.

Format: exe|zip
Last updated: September 5, 2005

Note:The patches apply to Polynomial Toolbox Version 2.5 only. Users of older Version 2.0 must first upgrade to Version 2.5 by restarting their Subscription. Please contact PolyX to learn how you can Restart your Subscritpion.

Instructions (PC Win95/98): Run the patches_25.exe file, insert the desired path of the Polynomial Toolbox (for instance C:/MATLABR11/toolbox/polynomial), and click the Unzip button.

Note: Before running the file, unselect the "Read Only" attribute of the files in your Polynomial Toolbox directory and its subdirectories if you have not done it yet. This can be done manually in the Explorer by applying Edit/Select All and File/Properties commands subsequently.

Users' Contributions 

Neimark's plot function (Yazd University, Iran)
This function plots the stability distance in the parameter space of a polynomial with linear dependency in uncertain parameters in lp-norms, for p = 1, 2 or inf, in the frequency range [w1,w2].Download the m-file.
.
GUI tools for analysis of polynomials with two uncertain parameters and for design of PID-type controllers (CTU Prague, CZ)
A stand-alone application (for MS Windows) or a MATLAB GUI. MATLAB version requires the Polynomial and Symbolic Toolboxes. Zipped m-files, executable files and documentation.
.
