Input-output Description
The description is valid fora) time-varying systems: ai , cj , explicit functions of time.b) multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) systems: l input-outputdifferential equations, l = # of outputs.c) nonlinear systems: differential equations includenonlinear terms.

State VariablesTo solve the differential equation we need(1) The system input u(t) for the period of interest.(2) A set of constant initial conditions.• Minimal set of initial conditions: incompleteknowledge of the set prevents complete solutionbut additional initial conditions are not needed toobtain the solution.• Initial conditions provide a summary of theHistory of the system up to the initial time.
5
DefinitionsSystem State: minimal set of numbers {xi(t),i = 1,2,...,n}, needed together with the inputu(t), t ∈ [t0,tf) to uniquely determine thebehavior of the system in the interval [t0,tf].n = order of the system.State Variables: As t increases, the state ofthe system evolves and each of thenumbers xi(t) becomes a time variable.State Vector: vector of state variables

Notation
• Column vector bolded• Row vector bolded and transposed xT.

Definitions
State Space: n-dimensional vector space where {xi(t), i = 1,2,...,n} represent the coordinate axes State plane: state space for a 2nd order system
Phase plane: special case where the state variables are proportional to the derivatives of the output.
Phase variables: state variables in phase plane. State trajectories: Curves in state space
State portrait: plot of state trajectories in the plane(phase portrait for the phase plane).

State Equations• Set of first order equations governing the state
variables obtained from the input-output differential equation and the definitions of the state variables.
• In general, n state equations for a nth order system.• The form of the state equations depends on the nature of the system (equations are time-varying for time-varying systems, nonlinear for nonlinear systems, etc.)• State equations for linear time-invariant systems can also be obtained from their transfer functions.
13
Output Equation
• Algebraic equation expressing the outputin terms of the state variables.• Multi-output systems: a scalar output equation is needed to define each output.• Substitute from solution of state equationto obtain output.
14
State-space Representation
• Representation for the system described by a differential equation in terms of state and output equations.
• Linear Systems: More convenient to writestate (output) equations as a single matrix equation
