scipy.signal.residuez(b, a, tol=0.001, rtype='avg')[source]¶

Compute partial-fraction expansion of b(z) / a(z).

If M is the degree of numerator b and N the degree of denominator a:

        b(z)     b[0] + b[1] z**(-1) + ... + b[M] z**(-M)
H(z) = ------ = ------------------------------------------
        a(z)     a[0] + a[1] z**(-1) + ... + a[N] z**(-N)

then the partial-fraction expansion H(z) is defined as:

        r[0]                   r[-1]
= --------------- + ... + ---------------- + k[0] + k[1]z**(-1) ...
  (1-p[0]z**(-1))         (1-p[-1]z**(-1))

If there are any repeated roots (closer than tol), then the partial fraction expansion has terms like:

     r[i]              r[i+1]                    r[i+n-1]
-------------- + ------------------ + ... + ------------------
(1-p[i]z**(-1))  (1-p[i]z**(-1))**2         (1-p[i]z**(-1))**n

This function is used for polynomials in negative powers of z, such as digital filters in DSP. For positive powers, use residue.

See Notes of residue for details about the algorithm.

Parameters

barray_like: Numerator polynomial coefficients.
aarray_like: Denominator polynomial coefficients.
tolfloat, optional: The tolerance for two roots to be considered equal in terms of the distance between them. Default is 1e-3. See unique_roots for further details.
rtype{‘avg’, ‘min’, ‘max’}, optional: Method for computing a root to represent a group of identical roots. Default is ‘avg’. See unique_roots for further details.

Returns

rndarray: Residues corresponding to the poles. For repeated poles, the residues are ordered to correspond to ascending by power fractions.
pndarray: Poles ordered by magnitude in ascending order.
kndarray: Coefficients of the direct polynomial term.
