  This paper proposes a method to ascertain the stability of two dimensional linear time invariant discrete system within the shifted unit circle which is represented by the form of characteristic equation. Further an equivalent single dimensional characteristic equation is formed from the two dimensional characteristic equation then the stability formulation in the left half of 
  <em>Z</em>-plane, where the roots of characteristic equation 
  <em>f</em>(
  <em>Z</em>) = 0 should lie within the shifted unit circle. The coefficient of the unit shifted characteristic equation is suitably arranged in the form of matrix and the inner determinants are evaluated using proposed Jury’s concept. The proposed stability technique is simple and direct. It reduces the computational cost. An illustrative example shows the applicability of the proposed scheme.

Introduction</title><p>In the last decades a vast amount of research was devoted to the area of two-dimensional systems. The rapid increase of the applicability of the system in area such as image processing, tomography, seismographic data processing, etc. demonstrates the significance of research in this field. In designing a discrete-space system such as a digital filter, an important consideration is the stability of the system. From the control view point stability analysis of a 2-D model is also of interest, since a variety of distributed systems, such as time-delay systems, linear multi pass processes and systems governed by certain types of partial differential equations, fit quite naturally in the framework of 2-D system theory. All these initial studies of the stability were carried in frequency domain (Z domain). More recently, however, the introduction of state-space models for 2-D systems allowed the investigation of the stability in the state-space approach. This is of particular interest due to the recent development of design technique using state-space models. The stability test of 2-D recursive digital filter is mostly numerical computation. The problem of the stable region of filter coefficients has been involved. The stability test is carried out by the new stability test theorem we presented in frequency domain which has the limitation of Jury’s and can be used in both conditions of linear and non-linear systems. Further Jury 1971 had presented the positive inner wise and positive definite symmetric matrices for stability of the system. In this method the formulations of symmetric matrices were very complicated and this criterion was rarely used by engineers for high order system. In this present paper a simple and direct scheme is proposed to find stability of linear time invariant discrete systems compared to the Jury (1971) method. The proposed scheme accounts all the coefficient of the unity shifted unit circle one dimensional equivalent characteristic equation in order to form the matrix followed by applying left shifting and right shifting principle to form X and Y matrix respectively. The single square matrix H = X + Y has been constructed from X and Y matrix with respected to Jury’s proposal. For an absolute stable system, the H value needs to be positive inner-wise which was identified for all its determinants that started from the centre elements and proceeding outwards the need to be positive. Furthermore, one more necessary condition is proposed along with Jury’s condition for stability.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2.

Result and Discussion</title><p>Three examples were presented in this paper to check the stability of the given two-dimensional characteristics polynomial. It has to be noted that the method proposed by Jury in 1971 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.65006-ref19">19</xref>] to check the stability of the given characteristics polynomial necessary conditions and sufficient conditions must be satisfied. In sufficient condition two matrices were formed like <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/4-7600472x104.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula> and <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/4-7600472x104.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula><inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/4-7600472x105.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula> then the inner determinants were determined, but in the proposed method necessary condition is checked as per Jury method and for checking the sufficient conditions only <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/4-7600472x104.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula><inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/4-7600472x105.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula><inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/4-7600472x106.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula> is considered to find the inner determinants, which reduces the number computations and one more important modification has compared with Jury method that accounts all the coefficients of the characteristics equation in order to form the matrix followed by applying left shifting and right shifting principle to form X and Y matrix respectively. The coefficients of this characteristic equation are suitably arranged in the form of <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/4-7600472x104.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula><inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/4-7600472x105.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula><inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/4-7600472x106.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula><inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/4-7600472x107.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula> matrix and the inner determinants are evaluated using Jury concept. The predominant merit in the proposed method is its versatility in direct application which becomes very simple.</p></sec><sec id="s6"><title>6. Conclusion</title><p>The implemented procedure for a modified stability test for two-dimensional linear time invariant discrete system is direct and much simpler than the Jury’s method. The proposed method had solved the problem in a very low count of arithmetic operations compared to Jury [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.65006-ref19">19</xref>] inners approach method.</p></sec><sec id="s7"><title>Cite this paper</title><p>PeriyasamyRamesh, (2016) A Modified Stability Analysis of Two-Dimensional Linear Time Invariant Discrete Systems within the Unity-Shifted Unit Circle.
