9–4 Solving the Time-Invariant State Equation


In this section, we shall obtain the general solution of the linear time-invariant state equa-


tion. We shall first consider the homogeneous case and then the nonhomogeneous case.


Solution of Homogeneous State Equations. Before we solve vector-matrix


differential equations, let us review the solution of the scalar differential equation


(9–25)


In solving this equation, we may assume a solution x(t)of the form


x(t)=b 0 +b 1 t+b 2 t^2 +p+bktk+p (9–26)


By substituting this assumed solution into Equation (9–25), we obtain


(9–27)


If the assumed solution is to be the true solution, Equation (9–27) must hold for any t.


Hence, equating the coefficients of the equal powers of t,we obtain


The value of b 0 is determined by substituting t=0into Equation (9–26), or


x(0)=b 0


Hence, the solution x(t)can be written as


We shall now solve the vector-matrix differential equation


(9–28)


where


By analogy with the scalar case, we assume that the solution is in the form of a vector


power series in t,or


x(t)=b 0 +b 1 t+b 2 t^2 +p+bktk+p (9–29)
