DCS Numerical Problems and Solutions
The state transition matrix \( \Phi(k) \) solves the homogeneous part of a system's equation by propagating the initial state through time steps. For \( x(k+2) + 5x(k+1) + 6x(k) = 0 \), its characteristic equation \( \lambda^2 + 5\lambda + 6 = 0 \) provides the eigenvalues needed to construct \( \Phi(k) \). The solutions, \( \lambda_1 = -2 \) and \( \lambda_2 = -3 \), give \( \Phi(k) = c_1 (-2)^k + c_2 (-3)^k \). This matrix provides a tool to express \( x(k) \) in terms of initial conditions, solving for each state in the system.
To assign desired closed-loop poles using state feedback, modify the state matrix \( G \) to obtain a new stable matrix \( G_cl = G - BK \) where \( K \) is the feedback gain matrix. Use pole placement techniques, such as Ackermann's formula, adjusting \( BK \) to position eigenvalues of \( G_cl \) at \( z = 0.5 \pm 0.5j \). Transform the characteristic equation into its desired form, compute \( K \), and ensure observability to implement the design. The matrix \( K \) can be solved iteratively or by using control design software for precise computation.
The Jury stability test is used for determining the stability of discrete-time polynomial equations by evaluating a series of determinants. For the system \( y(z)/x(z) = k(0.369z + 0.2642) / (z - 0.3679)(z - 1) \), form the characteristic equation by multiplying the denominator by \( k(0.369z + 0.2642) = 0 \), resulting in \( z^2 - 0.3679z + (k imes 0.369 + k imes 0.2642) \). The Jury criterion checks the roots' positions relative to the unit circle, translating into conditions on \( k \) for the system's stable response. Calculate matrix determinants and verify that they meet all stability conditions for various \( K \)
A system's controllability and observability from its canonical form is determined by transforming the transfer function into state-space and analyzing matrix ranks. For \( y(z)/u(z) = \frac{z^{-1} + 0.8z^{-2}}{1 + 1.3z^{-1} + 0.4z^{-2}} \), convert it to state-space form to construct controllability and observability matrices. Verify the rank conditions: full row rank for controllability matrix implies the system is controllable, and full column rank for observability matrix implies the system is observable. For this input-output relation, check if state variables influence observability and controllability, ensuring both properties hold.
The controllable canonical form is obtained by expressing the transfer function in terms of state-space representation focusing on control inputs. For \( y(z)/x(z) = \frac{z^{-1} + z^{-2}}{1 + 4z^{-1} + 3z^{-2}} \), rewrite the numerator and denominator to give a system equation with A, B, C, and D matrices, where A governs state evolution, B links inputs to states, C generates outputs from states, and D links inputs directly to outputs. The matrices are arranged such that the system is controllable. Specifically, determine the system's state variables based on the system order and express it in a state-space form as per controllable canonical form equations.
The velocity error constant \( K_v \) quantifies a system's ability to track a ramp input in steady state. For the transfer function \( G(z) = \frac{0.78z}{(z-0.60)(z-1)} \), \( K_v \) is calculated by evaluating the limit of \( G(z) \) as \( z \rightarrow 1 \). Thus, \( K_v = \lim_{z \to 1} (z-1)G(z) \). Substituting \( z = 1 \) in the derived expression gives \( K_v = 0.78 / (1-0.60) = 1.95 \). This value describes the steady-state error response to velocity inputs.
Eigenvalues determine the stability and dynamical response by influencing system modes in the state matrix \( A \). For \( A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -1 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \), the eigenvalues are \( \lambda_1 = 0 \) and \( \lambda_2 = 0 \). These indicate marginal stability as repeated roots lie on the imaginary axis, suggesting the system's step response exhibits steady, non-divergent actions without oscillations or exponential decay, following constant system behavior over time. The lack of initial conditions implies simplification to zero, further ensuring sustained equilibrium.
To determine the pulse transfer function, analyze the continuous-time transfer function, apply discretization techniques using the given sampling time (1 second in this case), and express the function in terms of Z-transform variables. The sampled data control system's stability can be evaluated by examining the poles of the resulting pulse transfer function; stability requires poles to lie inside the unit circle in the Z-plane. Use the bilinear transformation for accurate mapping from s-plane to z-plane. Check pole placement against unit circle constraints to determine if the system is stable.
A discrete-time system is controllable if the controllability matrix \( C = [B, AB] \) has full row rank, and observable if the observability matrix \( O = \begin{bmatrix} C \\ CA \\ C A^2 \end{bmatrix} \) has full column rank. For the given system with \( A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -6 \\ -5 & -1 \end{bmatrix} \), and output matrix \( Y(k) = [2, 2] \), compute these matrices using \( B = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix} \) and verify the rank conditions. The system is controllable and observable if both matrices are of full rank, ensuring that each state variable affects both system dynamics and is detectable in the output.
The residue method for finding the inverse Z-transform involves finding the residues of the given function within the region of convergence (ROC). For \( X(z) = \frac{1}{(z-0.25)(z-0.5)} \), the poles are at \( z = 0.25 \) and \( z = 0.5 \). With \( ROC |z| > 0.5 \), only the residue at \( z = 0.5 \) is considered for partial fraction expansion. By evaluating the residue at this pole, the inverse Z-transform can be determined as a series \( x[n] \), specifically \( x[n] = (0.5)^n u[n] \), where \( u[n] \) is the unit step function.
