In this paper, the notions of simple, very simple and indecomposable autonomous behavior are introduced and characterized. By resorting to some recent results about the direct sum decomposition of (linear, time-invariant, differential) behaviors (Bisiacco & Valcher, 2001), as well as to the well known primary decomposition theorem for finitely generated modules (Hartley & Hawkes, 1970), it is shown that every autonomous behavior can be expressed as a direct sum of indecomposable components, which are just cyclic modules of order p^ν, for some irreducible polynomial p and some positive integer ν. The nonuniqueness of this result is also discussed. Finally, this decomposition is interpreted in terms of modal analysis, and related to the results that can be obtained by mean of a state-space realization of the behavior.

Abstract
In this paper, the notions of simple, very simple and indecomposable autonomous behavior are introduced and characterized. By resorting to some recent results about the direct sum decomposition of (linear, time-invariant, differential) behaviors (Bisiacco & Valcher, 2001), as well as to the well known primary decomposition theorem for finitely generated modules (Hartley & Hawkes, 1970), it is shown that every autonomous behavior can be expressed as a direct sum of indecomposable components, which are just cyclic modules of order p^ν, for some irreducible polynomial p and some positive integer ν. The nonuniqueness of this result is also discussed. Finally, this decomposition is interpreted in terms of modal analysis, and related to the results that can be obtained by mean of a state-space realization of the behavior.Pubblicazioni consigliate
