SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving state-variable models, specifically addressing the output functions derived from the input function represented by the equations ##\dot{x} = Ax + Bu## and ##y = Cx + Du##. The user successfully identifies the correct output for part a.) as ##y_1 = x_1## and ##y_2 = x_2##, while part b.) simplifies to only ##y_1 = x_1##. The confusion arises from the difference in the number of outputs considered in each part, which the user resolves by recognizing the importance of careful reading of the problem statement.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of state-space representation in control systems
  • Familiarity with linear algebra concepts, particularly matrix operations
  • Knowledge of input-output relationships in dynamic systems
  • Ability to interpret mathematical notation and equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study state-space modeling techniques in control theory
  • Learn about the implications of different output configurations in state-variable models
  • Explore matrix representation of linear systems and their solutions
  • Practice solving state-variable problems using MATLAB or Python
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in engineering, particularly those studying control systems, as well as anyone looking to deepen their understanding of state-variable models and their applications.

Homework Equations


##\dot{x} = Ax + Bu## - Input Function
##y = Cx + Du## - Output Function

The Attempt at a Solution


I'm having trouble with the output functions specifically ..
In a.) the correct solution for the output is: \begin{align} & y_1 = x_1 \\ & y_2 = x_2 \\ & \begin{bmatrix} y_1 \ \\ y_2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x_1 \\ x_2 \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix} u \end{align}

Now for part b.) the solution is ..

: \begin{align} y_1 & = x_1 \\ y & = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}x + \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix} u \end{align}

I don't understand why part a.) has two outputs ##y_1## and ##y_2## whereas part b.) only takes into account ##y_1##. What am I failing to understand conceptually? **I figured it out, apparently I can't read -.-**

That's why the template is so good: formulating the problem requires reading (not photographing) it first :rolleyes:
