- # Usage: [n, m, p] = abcddim (a, b, c, d)
- #
- # Check for compatibility of the dimensions of the matrices defining
- # the linear system (a, b, c, d).
- #
- # Returns n = number of system states,
- # m = number of system inputs,
- # p = number of system outputs.
- #
- # Returns n = m = p = -1 if the system is not compatible.
