Study Notes
Controllability and Observability
- Controllability and observability are two major concepts of modern control system theory
- Controllability: the system must be controllable to do whatever we want with the given dynamic system under control input
- Observability: the system must be observable to see what is going on inside the system under observation
Controllability
- Definition: the process G is said to be controllable if every state variable x of G can be affected or controlled in finite time by some unconstrained control signal u(t)
Observability
- Definition: the process G is said to be observable if every state variable x of G eventually affects some of the outputs y of the process
State Transition Matrix
- The state transition matrix is denoted by Φ(t) = e^(At)
- It satisfies the following properties:
- Φ(0) = I
- Φ(t1 + t2) = Φ(t1) Φ(t2)
- Φ(t) = Φ^(-1)(-t)
- Φ(t) is non-singular for all t
- Φ(t) is continuous for all t
