HW#12

Due Thursday, March 4

 1. Given the following state variable model:

a) Use Laplace Transforms to find

b) Repeat part a) using the Cayley-Hamilton method

c) Again using Cayley-Hamilton, find coefficients c0 and c1 such that . Verify your answers for k=0,1, and 2.

d) Lastly, find and evaluate at t=1, 2, and 3 seconds

e) Is the system stable, marginally stable, or unstable?

2. Given the following state variable model with repeated eigenvalues:

a) Use Laplace Transforms to find

b) Repeat part a) using the Cayley-Hamilton method

c) Again using Cayley-Hamilton, find coefficients c0 and c1 such that .

d) Verify your answers for k=0, 1, and 2. What happens if you let k=-1?

e) Lastly, find and evaluate at t=0, 1, 2, and 3 seconds

f) Is the system stable, marginally stable, or unstable?
