Control system miscellaneous

  1. The system ẋ = Ax + Bu with A =
    -1
    2
    , B =
    0
    is
    0
    2
    1

    1. stable and controllable
    2. stable but uncontrollable
    3. unstable but controllable
    4. unstable and uncontrollable
Correct Option: C

Given : ẋ = Ax + Bu ;

A =
-1
2
, B =
0
0
2
1

For stability, characteristic equation

∴ M = (s + 1) × (s – 2) = 0
⇒ (s – 2) (s + 1) = 0
⇒ s = 2, s = – 1
So one root in right hand side of s-plane, so system is unstable.
For controllability : B =
0
1

AB =
-1
2
0
=
2
0
2
1
2


= 0 – 2 = – 2 ≠ 0
So controllable.
