Benchmark Model Overview

This page outlines the types of models that are used as benchmark systems. For this general summary we assume an input $u : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}^m$, a state $x : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}^n$ and an output $y : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}^q$.

Linear Time-Invariant System

$\begin{align} E\dot{x}(t) &= Ax(t) + Bu(t),\\ y(t) &= Cx(t), \end{align}$

with:

$E \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$, $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$, $B \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times m}$, $C \in \mathbb{R}^{q \times n}$.

Linear Time-Varying System

$\begin{align} E(t)\dot{x}(t) &= A(t)x(t) + B(t)u(t),\\ y(t) &= C(t)x(t), \end{align}$

$E : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$, $A : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$, $B : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}^{n \times m}$, $C : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}^{q \times n}$.

$\begin{align} E\dot{x}(t) &= Ax(t) + f(x(t),u(t)) + Bu(t),\\ y(t) &= Cx(t), \end{align}$
