Study Notes

State-Space Representation

A state-space representation is a mathematical model that describes the behavior of a system using a set of first-order differential equations.
The state-space representation is a powerful tool for analyzing and designing control systems.

Controllable Canonical Form (CCF)

The CCF is a specific type of state-space representation that has a certain structure.
In CCF, the system is represented by the following equations:
- ẋ = Ax + Bu
- y = Cx + Du
The CCF is useful for analyzing and designing control systems because it provides a clear and concise way of representing the system dynamics.

Observable Canonical Form (OCF)

The OCF is another type of state-space representation that has a certain structure.
In OCF, the system is represented by the following equations:
- ẋ = Ax + Bu
- y = Cx + Du
The OCF is useful for analyzing and designing control systems because it provides a clear and concise way of representing the system dynamics.

Phase Variable Canonical Form

The Phase Variable Canonical Form is a type of state-space representation that is used to represent systems with a certain structure.
In Phase Variable Canonical Form, the system is represented by the following equations:
- ẋ1 = x2
- ẋ2 = x3
- ...
- ẋn = -a1x1 - a2x2 - ... - anxn + u
- y = b1x1 + b2x2 + ... + bnxn

Companion Forms

Companion forms are a type of state-space representation that is used to represent systems with a certain structure.
In companion forms, the system is represented by the following equations:
- y + a1ẏ + a2ẏ̇ + ... + any^(n) = b0u + b1u̇ + b2u̇̇ + ... + bn-1u^(n-1)

Similarity Transformations

Similarity transformations are used to transform one state-space representation into another.
The transformation is done by multiplying the original state-space representation by a transformation matrix.

Transformation to CCF (Example)

The example shows how to transform a given system into CCF.
The transformation is done by calculating the controllability matrix and the transformation matrix P.

Transformation to OCF (Example)

The example shows how to transform a given system into OCF.
The transformation is done by using the transformation matrix Q.
