Exercise 7.2

Exercise 7.2#

Control design ∙ State feedback

Consider the system:

\[\begin{split} \begin{dcases} \dot{x} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix} x + \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix} u \\ y = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} x \end{dcases} \end{split}\]
  1. Construct a state observer whose state estimation error decays as \(\varepsilon(t) \propto e^{-10t}\).

  2. Suppose that \(u(t) = 0\), and let \(\hat{y} = C \hat{x}\). Compute the transfer function between \(y\) and \(\hat{y}\).

Estimation error decay rate

Recall that the state estimation error evolves according to \(\dot{\varepsilon} = (A-KC) \varepsilon\).

Then, \(\varepsilon\) decays proportionally to \(e^{-10t}\) if all eigenvalues of \(A-KC\) have \(\Re (\lambda) \leq -10\).
