Monografia zawiera nowe geometryczne podejście do analizy zer wielowymiarowych układów liniowych standardowych i singularnych. Zaproponowaną charakteryzację zer oparto na informacji zawartej w pierwszym niezerowym parametrze Markova układu. Wprowadzono nową definicję zer inwariantnych rozszerzającą dotychczasowe pojęcie zer Smitha.
