I have included a transfer function of a 3 degree of freedom system.  There are special loci, aside from s = 0, where the numerator will equate to a REAL scalar value, and the denominator will reduce to a simple product of the individual z roots.  Does anyone know if there is some physical significance, interpretation, or analog to this condition and special loci?untitled.mw

I found the following: 

Question:matrix multiplication element by element

Does this not apply to vectors?  If not what syntax is required?  I cannot seem to execute this simple operation which I can easily do in MATLAB.  If you have such a capability why is it not clearly documented in the HELP pages?

I resolved the coefficients to a 2nd order diff eq of the form:ay''+by'+cy=f(t)

I have included the .mw file for convenience at the link at the bottom of the page.  I resolved the coefficients in 2 different ways & they do not concur.  The 1st approach used the LaPlace transform & partial fraction decomposition.  The coefficient results are given by equations # 14 & 15.  The 2nd approach used undetermined coefficients where I assumed the particular solution and then applied the initial conditions to resolve the coefficients pertaining to the homogeneous solution which are given in the results listed in equation #23.  Noted in the 1st case the coeff's are A₃ & A₄ and for the 2nd approach the coeff's are A₁ & A₂.  I have worked this numerous times & do not understand why they do not concur.  So I thought I should get some fresh eyes on the problem to find where I may have gone wrong.

Any new perspective will be greatly apprecieated.

I had trouble uploading the .mw file so I have included an alternative link to retrieve the file if the code contents is illegible or you cannot dowlad the file drectly from the weblink  Download coeffs_of_homogen_soln_discrepancy.mw.  You should be able to download from the alternative link below once you paste the link into your browser.  If you cannot & wish for me to provide the file in some other fashion respond with some specific instructions & I will attempt to get the file to you.

Thanks 4 any help you can provide.

I cannot seem to upload my .mw file.  What is going on with the this new MAPLEPrimes?  I need some help getting my file uploaded.  What other avenue is available?

I attempted to use convolution in AudioTools to convolve 2 vectors with arbitrary values, but could not since the operation is expecting numeric values.  Can this be done?    Is there not a convolution operastor in the LinearAlgebra package?  See attached:
