Exercise 6.1

Exercise 6.1#

Analysis ∙ Linear dynamical systems

A state-space representation of \(G(s) = \frac{1}{s+1}\) is given by

(25)#\[\begin{split} \begin{dcases} \dot{x} = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix} x + \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix} u \\ y = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} x \end{dcases} \end{split}\]
  1. Compute the poles of (25) and compare them with those of \(G(s)\).

  2. Is \(G(s)\) input-output stable? Is (25) asymptotically stable?

  3. Examine the controlalbility and observability of the system.

  4. Explain why (25) is not a good realization of \(G(s)\), and provide a better state-space realization.
