1. Convert the system

   
−1 0 1
x(t) = x(t)+ u(t)
0 −2 1
 
y(t) = 1 1 x(t)

(a) Find, if possible, a control

 law, which will derive the system

X(0) = 0 to x1 = in2sec. from
1
(b) Find, if possible, the state x(0) when
y(t) = 12 e−2t + 23 for u(t) = 1, t > 0 [8+8]

2. State, prove and explain Lyapunov?s stability theorm. Also explain what are the
sufficient conditions of stability. [2+2+4+8]

3. (a) Explain the different methods of determination of observer gain matrix

(b) Consider the system described
 by the state
 model
• −1 +1
X = Ax where A = ; C = [1, 0] Y =Cx
1 −2
Obtain the state observer gain matrix using all 3 methods. The desired given
values for the observer matrix are µ1 = −5, µ1 = −5 [8+8]

1
Rtf
to minimize the performance measure J=10 x21 (tp ) + 2
(x21 + 2x22 + u2 )dtThe final
0
time tf is 1 sec.

(a) Determine the discrete approximation for the system use sampling interval
T=0.02 sec.
(b) Determine the optimal control law from the discrete formulation. [8+8]

7. (a) Explain the multivalued responses and jump phenomenon
(b) Determine the describing function for the nonlinear element described by
y = x3
where x = input to the nonlinear element (sinusoidal signal) and y = output
of the nonlinear element. [8+8]

8. A simple servo is described by the following equations:

Reaction torque θ̈ c + 0.5 θ̇ c
•
Drive torque = 2sign( e + 0.5 e )
•
e = θR − θc ; e(0) = 2; e (0) = 0
