A state-space representation of an integro-differential equation implies a false statement












0












$begingroup$


I would like to convert the equation $ddot{y}+int_0^t y(tau)dtau=0$ to state-space representation. Below, I present my attempt, which seems to be contradicting, and then ask my question at the end.



Coversion



Let $x_1=y$ and $x_2=dot{y}$. Also, let $x=left[begin{array}{c}x_1\x_2end{array}right]$ and so:



$$dot{x}=
left[begin{array}{c}x_2\-int_0^t x_1 dtau end{array}right]
$$



Take Laplace transform, assuming 0 initial conditions:



$$
sX=left[begin{array}{c}X_2\ -frac{X_1}{s} end{array}right]=
left[begin{array}{cc}0 & 1\-frac{1}{s} & 0end{array}right]X
$$



Inverse Laplace transform:



$$
dot{x}=
left[begin{array}{cc}0 & delta(t)\-1 & 0end{array}right]x
$$



where $delta(t)$ is the delta-dirac function (infinity at 0, and 0 elsewhere).



Question



The last equation implies $dot{y}=delta(t)dot{y}$ and this implies $1=delta(t)$, a false statement.



Please let me know the error in my logic.



Comments



(1) I know I can model the original equation using another state assignments without running into such problem of contradicting statements. For example, I can use the states $x_1=int_0^t y(tau)dtau$, $x_2=y$, and $x_3=dot{y}$. This state assignment will not result into a problem like the former one. However, this assignment results in 3-by-3 system, whereas the former results in 2-by-2 system.



(2) I also know I can differentiate the original ODE to get rid of the integral, but this will also result in a 3-by-3 system.



(3) The bottomline here: The main objective of this question is to uncover the error in my first attempt that used Laplace transform.

    You end up with the convolution of $delta$ and $x$, which is $x$. Mystery solved

    I guess you're right @obareey . However, I thought maybe somehow you can embed the third state into the structure of the 2-by-2 A matrix, which may no longer be a constant matrix. I guess this can be done; however, is it really useful? For example, can I get the eigenvalues of the non-constant A using the conventional method, i.e., $det (A-lambda I)=0$. I guess not, right? In other words, I lost the advantages of the nice LTI state-space form.
