Hi all. Studying some control theory but having difficulty learning because my lecturer doesn't provide solutions to any of his exercises AT ALL. Below I've attached a problem I've just done and my answers and would like to know if I'm on the correct track.



Here is an image of the question.

(i) Consider a closed loop feedback control of the form u=kx. Then the system is stabilizable if there exists a matrix \(\displaystyle K \in \mathbb{R}^{m x n} \) such that the system


\(\displaystyle \dot{x} =(A+BK)x
x(0)=x_0 \in \mathbb{R}^n \)


is asymptotically stable.


(ii) If (A,B) is controllable, then it is stabilizable.


(iii) (A,B) is controllable if and only if rank(G)=n where G is the controllability matrix \(\displaystyle G=(B,AB,...,A^{n-1}B) \in \mathbb{R}^{n x nm} \).


For this particular system one has \(\displaystyle A=\begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 \\1 & 0 \end{pmatrix} B= \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix} \) transposed


Giving G (not writing out calculation because I'm slow at latex) \(\displaystyle =\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} \).


Clearly (1,0) and (0,1) are linearly independant so rank(G)=2=n and hence (A,B) is controllable, and so is also stabilizable.


^Is this correct? Thanks.

I'm sorry, but I can't read this at all. I've even downloaded the image and attempted image-correction, and I still can't read it. My best guess follows:

Consider the system:

. . . . .\(\displaystyle \dot{x}\, =\, Ax\, +\, Ba,\, x(0)\, =\, x_0\, \in\, \mathbb{R}^n\)

with unrestricted [??] \(\displaystyle n\, :\, [0,\, 7]\, \rightarrow\, \mathbb{R}^{[??]},\, A\, \in\, \mathbb{R}^{n+m},\,\) and \(\displaystyle \, B\, \in\, \mathbb{R}^{n+m}\)

i) Define what it means for this system to be stabilizable.

ii) State a theorem giving a sufficient condition on the matrices \(\displaystyle \,A,\, B\,\) for this system to be stabilizable.

iii) Show that the system:

. . . . .\(\displaystyle \dot{x_1}\, =\, [??]\, +\, u\)

. . . . .\(\displaystyle \dot{x_2}\, =\, x_1\)

where \(\displaystyle \, x_1,\, x_2,\, u\,\) are real-valued functions, is stabilizable.

Please reply with the rest of the information. Thank you.
