This paper presents an algebraic analysis using Matrix Padé Aproximation to improve the identification stage of the proposal in [6] on Scalar Component Models, specifically as it refers to the choice of a parameter they denote h. The original methodology in [6] is based on the construction and...

Padé rational approximations are a very convenient approximation tool, due to the easiness of obtaining them, as solutions of linear systems. Not surprisingly, many matrix exponential approximations used in applied probability are particular cases of the first and second order “admissible...

The paper deals with the verification of three pipeline models: the non-linear distributed parameters model, the linear distributed parameter model and the linear lumped parameters model. All the models were comparatively verified on the basis of the measurements on a real pipeline.
