Andronov and L.Pontryagin in 1937 in the qualitative theory of dynamical systems (structurally stable elements being those whose behaviour does not change when applying small perturbations) has been studied by many authors in Control Theory. We present in this work conditions for structurally stable linear time-invariant singular systems when considering different equivalence relations among them.

This correspondence preserves the equivalence relations introduced in both sets (feedback-similarity and strict equivalence): two quadruples of matrices are feedback-equivalent if, and only if, the polynomial matrices associated to them are also strictly equivalent. We characterize structurally stable polynomial matrices (stable elements under small perturbations) describing singular systems and derive a lower bound on the distance to the orbits of polynomial matrices with strictly lower dimension.
