Abstract
In this paper the problem of computing the generic McMillan degree of a Structured Transfer Function (STF) rational matrix is considered. The problem of determining the generic McMillan degree is tackled using genericity arguments and an optimisation procedure based on path properties of integer matrices is developed. This novel approach exploits the structure of integer matrices and leads to an efficient new algorithm for the computation of the generic value of the McMillan degree.
