discretization of continuous systems (Topic)

Consider a continuous-time system with the following state space representation

$\displaystyle P:\ \ \ \ \left\{\begin{array}{ccl} \dot{x}(t)&=&A x(t)+Bu(t),\\ y(t) &=& Cx(t)+D u(t),\end{array}right.$ (1)

where $x(t)\in\R^n$ , $u(t)\in\R^r$ and $y(t)\in\R^m$ are the state vector, input vector and output vector of the system, respectively; $A\in\R^{n\times n}$ , $B\in\R^{n\times r}$ , $C\in\R^{m\times n}$ and $D\in\R^{m\times r}$ are the constant real or complex matrices.

Suppose that the sampling interval is $\tau$ . By using the step invariance transform or the zero-order hold (ZOH), i.e., $u(t)=u(k\tau),\ k\tau\leq t<(k+1)\tau$ , discretizing the system in ([*]) gives a discrete-time model,

$\displaystyle P_\tau:\ \ \ \ \left\{\begin{array}{ccl}x(k\tau+\tau)&=&G_\tau x(... ...\tau),\\ y(k\tau) &=& C x(k\tau)+Du(k\tau),\ k=0, 1, 2, \cdots\end{array}right.$ (2)

where $x(k\tau)=x(t)\left|_{t=k\tau}\right.$ , $y(k\tau)=y(t)\left|_{t=k\tau}\right.$ , and \begin{equation}\label{re_01d} G_\tau:=\rme^{A \tau}, \ F_\tau:=\int^{\tau}_{0}\rme^{A t}\rmd t\ B. \end{equation}
