Abstract
To a computer, a plant looks like a discrete time system even though usually it is well defined for continuous time. In addition, the computer issues its commands at discrete times even if the original control law design was based on differential equations. For these reasons, it is necessary to be able to convert continuous time representations to equivalent discrete time representations.
