Varying State Space

State-space model with varying matrix values

• Library:

• Control System Toolbox / Linear Parameter Varying

• 

Description

Use this block to implement a continuous-time state-space model with varying matrices. Feed the instantaneous values of the state matrix A, input matrix B, output matrix C, and feedforward matrix D to the corresponding input ports. The system response is given by:

$$\begin{array}{c}dx=Ax+Bu\\ y=Cx+Du,\end{array}$$

where u is the system input, y is the system output, and x and dx are the state vector and state derivatives, respectively.

Use this block and the other blocks in the Linear Parameter Varying library to implement common control elements with variable parameters or coefficients. For more information, see Model Gain-Scheduled Control Systems in Simulink.

Parameters

Initial conditions — System initial conditions

0 (default) | scalar | vector

Initial state values, specified as a scalar or a vector whose length is the number of system states.
