This PR adds some type conversations for algebraic operations involving I/O systems, motivated by an example I was putting together where I wanted to generate a Nyquist plot for a linearized nonlinear I/O system (type
LinearIOSystem
) and a simple lead compensator (typeTransferFunction
). UsingP * C
generated a type conversation error butC * P
was OK as wasct.tf(P) * C
. It seemed annoying to have to do the explicit typecasting, so I decided to implement some of the operations that were needed to makeP * C
work (generates aLinearICSystem
, which is a subclass ofStateSpace
).The following functionality has been added:
__sub__
, so that you can write G1 - G2 for I/O systems__array_priority__
value so that operations involving ndarrays are handled as I/O system operations and I/O system operations take precedence over LTI operations involving ndarrays.I also did some PEP8 cleanup on
iosys.py
while I was at it, and put in unit tests for the code.
