SIGNIFICANT POINTS

State   The state of a dynamic system is the smallest set of variables and the knowledge of these variables at t = t0 together with inputs for tt0 completely determines the behaviour of the system at tt0.

State Variables   The smallest set of variables that determine the state of the system are known as state variables.

State Vector   The ‘n’ state variables that completely describe the behaviour of a given system are said to be ‘n’ components of a vector.

State Space   The n dimensional space whose co-ordinate axes consist of the x1 axis, x2 axis, …, xnaxis are known as a state space.

State Equation   The equations which describes the relationships between the derivations of the state variables is a function of state ...
