Solution to EXAM II
1a) Check controllability:
Completely controllable!!
Put in phase variable form: ![]()
Let w=-kx; Have:
Want: ![]()
![]()
OR use Ackermann's formula: ![]()
b) Must assume same number of inputs as outputs we want to track!! ![]()
c) Nx is nxp, where p is the number of outputs we want to track = number of inputs
d) 
e) Nu is mxp
f) We have 1 input and one output we want to track (y2 = 5), so eliminate first row of C in calculations:

2a) r = rank(M), Tccf. = [r linearly independent columns of M | n-r more columns such that Tccf has full rank]
b) Controllable eigenvalues are {1,2,3}, uncontrollable are {1/2,1/2,1/2}
c) System is stabilizable!!
d)

e) System is NOT deadbeat, since we have three non-zero eigenvalues!!

Check observability:
Completely observable!! Let's let Ao = AT, bo = cT, and solve (Ao-BoKoT)as the dual of the controller problem, :
![]()
b)

c) The reduced-order observer is a better estimate AND it is estimating fewer states (1st order as opposed to 2nd order)
4a) We know Dwk, so let
, and let
, and follow the rest of the design procedure for the reduced-order observer (see notes!!). Then ARO=A22-KROA12, BRO=B2-KROB1,CRO=AROKRO+A21-KROA11
b) Block diagram:
