Abstract When the problem is considered of obtaining a periodic description in state-space form of a linear process which can be modelled by linear difference equations with periodic coefficients, it is natural to ask whether it is possible to preliminarily derive a polynomial equivalent form of such equations, which in the periodic case plays a role similar to the Rosenbrock's polynomial matrix description of a linear time-invariant process. In this paper a polynomial time-invariant description of a linear periodic process is introduced. It is shown that such a polynomial description gives a simple characterization of the dimension of the space of the solutions corresponding to the null input function, i.e., of the order of the periodic model under consideration. In addition, it allows us to introduce a transfer matrix for the computation of the output responses corresponding to null initial conditions, and to deduce conditions for the periodic model to be causal. These results, as well as the possibility of defining strict system equivalence between two periodic models through their time-invariant polynomial descriptions, in a similar sense as in the time-invariant case, show the relevance of such a polynomial time-invariant description for the problem under consideration.
