ECE62 Exam April 5, 27 2. ( points) Controllability Dfinitions (a) Provid th dfinition of controllability for a linar tim-invariant (LTI) discrt-tim (DT) systm (A, B). An LTI discrt-tim systm is controllabl if for any initial stat x x, and any x, thr xists a finit lngth input squnc uk that taks th systm stat from x to x. (b) Provid th dfinition of controllability for a linar tim-varying (LTV) continuous-tim (CT) systm (A(t), B(t)). An LTV continuous-tim (CT) systm is controllabl at tim t if for any initial stat x(t ) x and any x, thr xists a finit tim t and an input u(t) dfind on th tim intrval from t to t that taks th systm from x to x.
ECE62 Exam April 5, 27 3 2. (5 points) Controllability of Continuous-Tim Systms (a) For th systm blow, comput W c (). ẋ(t) x(t) + u(t) First, lt s comput Aτ B. Bcaus th A matrix is in Jordan normal form, w know Aτ without prforming any calculations. Thus w hav Now Aτ B τ τ τ τ τ. W c () τ 2τ 2 Aτ BB T AT τ dτ τ dτ 2 2. (b) Basd on your answr, is th systm controllabl? Th systm is not controllabl bcaus W c (t) has rank on for any valu of t. (c) Would it mak a diffrnc if w chos t 2 instad of t? No. Controllability of LTI systms is not tim dpndnt. LTI systms ar ithr controllabl or uncontrollabl.
ECE62 Exam April 5, 27 4 (d) Us on of th othr quivalnt conditions for controllability to chck your answr. Sinc B slcts th first lmnt of ach row of th A matrix, th simplst critrion to chck is th controllability matrix, C BAB Th fact that th controllability matrix dos not hav full rank confirms our conclusion that th systm is uncontrollabl..
ECE62 Exam April 5, 27 5 3. ( points) Intrnal Stability of a Continuous-Tim LTI Systm (a) Stat th dfinition of marginal stability of a continuous-tim LTI systm. A systm is marginally stabl if any finit initial condition producs a boundd output. (b) What is th additional rquirmnt for asymptotic stability? Th output must go to zro as tim gos to infinity. (c) What is th tim-domain condition for marginal stability? All ignvalus of A must b in th opn lft half plan (hav nonpositiv ral part) and thos ignvalus having zro ral part must b simpl roots of th minimal polynomial.

Th pair (A(t), B(t)) and th systm it rprsnts is controllabl at tim t if and only if thr xists a finit tim t > t such that t W c (t, t ) Φ(t, τ)b(τ)b T (τ)φ(t, τ)dτ t is nonsingular, whr Φ(t, τ) is th stat transition matrix of ẋ A(t)x. (b) Dtrmin whthr th following systm is controllabl at t. ẋ(t) x(t) + t 2t u(t) Rathr than computing Φ(t, τ) and thn W c (t, t ), it will b asir to chck th sufficint condition. Sinc A(t) and B(t) ar both (n ) tims continuously diffrntiabl, w can chck th rank of th matrix whr M (t) : B(t), and M(t ) : M (t ) M (t )... M n (t ), M m+ (t) A(t)M m (t) + d dt M m(t). W hav M (t) d dt M (t) A(t)M m (t) t 2t t 2 2t t t 2t 2t 2t
ECE62 Exam April 5, 27 7 and thus, sinc n 2, M(t ) : M (t ) M (t ) t t 2t 2 2t 2t. This matrix has dtrminant 3t + 2 3t + 2 4t 3t + 2 4t, which is nonzro for all t, and in particular for vry t > t, so th systm is controllabl at any t.
ECE62 Exam April 5, 27 8 5. (2 points) Controllability and Stability for Discrt Tim (a) For th systm blow, comput W dc n. xk + xk + uk Th formula for W dc n is W dc n n m For this systm n 2, so w hav A m BB T (A T ) m. W dc A BB T (A T ) + A BB T (A T ). Th matrix B slcts th scond column of any matrix it postmultiplis, so w hav W dc +. 2 (b) Basd on your answr, is th systm controllabl? Ys, W dc has full rank so th systm is controllabl. (c) Is th systm stabl? Plas b spcific. Th matrix A has a rpatd ignvalu with magnitud on. Thus w must dtrmin whthr it is a simpl root of th minimal polynomial. Th charactristic polynomial is (s ) 2 and A I so on is not a simpl root of th minimal polynomial and th systm is nithr marginally nor asymptotically stabl. W ar not givn th C and D matrics, so w do not know ĝ(s); howvr, w know that th pols of th transfr function ar a
ECE62 Exam April 5, 27 9 subst of th ignvalus of A. Thus, unlss thr ar no pols, w can conclud that th systm is not BIBO stabl. If, for xampl w assum that C I and D, thn w find that thr ar pols, so th systm is not BIBO stabl. (d) Find an input uk that taks initial stat x to x, or show that such an input dos not xist. W hav x Ax + Bu + + u so u will achiv th dsird x. u

(b) Dtrmin whthr th following systm is BIBO stabl. g(t) t + A sufficint condition for th systm to b BIBO stabl is that th transfr function g(t) b absolutly intgrabl. For nonngativ t, g(t) is always nonngativ, so th absolut valu of g(t) is th sam as g(t). g(t) dt dt lim t + ln (t + b ) b lim ln (t + ) ln. b This limit dos not xist so g(t) is not absolutly intgrabl and thus th systm is not BIBO stabl. (c) Dfin absolut intgrability of a function f(t). A function f(t) is absolutly intgrabl if thr xists a finit M such that f(t) dt < M <. Of cours w alrady said that M was finit, so in som sns th < is suprfluous; howvr it is hlpful to hav that information includd in th inquality. (d) Dtrmin whthr th following systm is BIBO stabl. g(t) (t + ) 2
ECE62 Exam April 5, 27 As bfor, a sufficint condition for th systm to b BIBO stabl is that th transfr function g(t) b absolutly intgrabl. For nonngativ t, g(t) is always nonngativ, so th absolut valu of g(t) is th sam as g(t). g(t) dt dt (t + ) 2 ( ), t + so th transfr function is absolutly intgrabl and this systm is BIBO stabl.
ECE62 Exam April 5, 27 2 7. ( points) Find a valid Q matrix for dtrmining th Kalman Controllability form of th following systm, and indicat th dimnsions of th x c vctor. ẋ(t) x(t) + u(t) For xtra crdit, you may calculat th Kalman Dcomposition. To find th Kalman controllability dcomposition, w must first find th controllability matrix, which is C BAB This matrix having rank n, which is lss than full rank, w slct a maximal st of linarly indpndnt columns for th first n columns of th Q matrix. W thn add additional columns to mak Q invrtibl. Thus w hav only a singl choic for th first column of Q, but th scond column is arbitrary so long as it is not a multipl of th first column. Th simplst choic for Q is thus th idntity matrix. Bcaus n is on, th x c vctor is of lngth on. Th Kalman dcomposition is thus A c, A 2, A c, B c, and B c,.
