Consider teh block diagram shown in the figure below.
P(s)
P 0 (s)
Q(s)
r + y
a ) Suppose P s a (^) s +^2 1, P 0 s a (^) s?^11 , and Q a 2. Calculate the transfer function from r to y. b ) Is the system in part a) stable? c ) Now suppose that P s a P 0 s a H s for some H s . Under what conditions is the system stable for any stable Q s ?
We are given the following information about the response of a single input LTI continuous time system in the form dxdt a Ax C bu.
c 1
is x t a
c 1
e^2 t.
The step response (with zero initial condition) is x t a
1 c e? t
a ) ( 25pt ) Find the matrix A. b ) ( 10pt ) BONUS Is the system controllable? Justify.
Consider the system with state-space description 1. dx dt
a Ax C Bu
Assume the system is controllable. Let u be given by 1. u a Fx C v for some constant matrix F , and any input v. This describe a state feedback. a ) ( 10pt ) Write down that state space description for the system mapping v to x. b ) ( 15pt ) Is the new system controllable? Prove it or show a counter example. Hint : use PBH test. Also recall that rank GH a rank G , if H is invertible
Consider now a new system S obtained by connecting in series S 1 and S 2 as show in the figure below.
S 1 S 2
u y
Let S 1 : A 1 a 1 ; b 1 a 1 ; c 1 a 1
S 2 : A 2 a
; b 2 a
; c 2 a (^0 )
a ) Is the system S reachable? b ) Is it observable?
Consider the system S obtained by connecting two SISO Continuous-Time systems as shown in the figure below. The system S 1 has a state space representation A 1 , b 1 , c 1 , 0. The system S 2 has a state space representation A 2 , b 2 , c 2 , 0. Both systems are reachable and observable.
Show that: S is controllable if and only if A 1 and A 2 have no common eigenvalues.
