Piano String FDS, Continued

We have

\begin{eqnarray*}
{\bf y}_{n} ={\bf A_{1}y_{n-1}}+{\bf A_{2}y_{n-2}}+{\bf A_{3}y_{n-3}}+{\bf g}f_n({\bf y}_{n-1}[i_h],y^h_{n-1})
\end{eqnarray*}

The string displacement is updated in time by three matrix-vector products, plus a forcing term $ {\bf g}
f_n({\bf y}_{n-1}[i_h],y^h(n-1))$ :

Note that the FDS involves 3 steps of ``lookback.'' It turns out this model goes unstable in the limit as the sampling rate goes to infinity!
