simp - rational simplification

### Calling Sequence

  `[N1,D1]=simp(N,D)`
  `H1=simp(H)`

### Parameters

- `N,D` : real polynomials or real matrix polynomials
- `H` : rational matrix (i.e matrix with entries `n/d` ,`n` and `d` real polynomials)

### Description

`[n1,d1]=simp(n,d)` calculates two polynomials `n1` and `d1` such that `n1/d1 = n/d` .

If `N` and `D` are polynomial matrices the calculation is performed element-wise.

`H1=simp(H)` is also valid (each entry of `H` is simplified in `H1` ).

Caution:

-no threshold is given i.e. `simp` cannot forces a simplification.

-For linear dynamic systems which include integrator(s) simplification changes the static gain. (`H(0)` for continuous systems or `H(1)` for discrete systems)

-for complex data, `simp` returns its input(s).

-rational simplification is called after nearly each operations on rationals. It is possible to toggle simplification on or off using `simp_mode` function.

### Examples

    s=poly(0,'s');
    [n,d]=simp((s+1)*(s+2),(s+1)*(s-2))

    simp_mode(%F);hns=s/s
    simp_mode(%T);hns=s/s
