AFC – Chapter 7. Stability, observability, and controlability.

Learning Purposes

1. Discuss the concept of stability.
2. Define the BIBO stability criteria.
3. Recognize whether a linear and invariant system is stable according to the BIBO stability criterion.
4. Define the BIBS stability criteria.
5. Recognize whether a linear time-invariant system is stable according to the BIBS stability criterion.
6. Define the concept of observability.
7. Recognize when a linear time-invariant system is observable or not.
8. Define the concept of controllability.
9. Recognize when a linear time-invariant system is controllable or not.
10. Discuss the importance of stability, observability, and controllability properties for the design of a control system.
