In this paper we present new methods for the reduction of a polynomial system matrix describing a discrete linear repetitive process, to equivalent singular and non-singular 2-D state space representations. Particularly, a zero coprime system equivalence transformation resulting in a singular Roesser state space model, preserving the core algebraic structure of the original system matrix, is proposed. As a second step utilizing the singular Roesser model introduced, we further reduce the system to a non-singular, zero coprime system equivalent Roesser model. Both models are constructed by inspection or by applying elementary matrix manipulations and have significantly smaller dimensions compared to similar reductions found in the literature.
