Input-Output Representation

Abstract

For some systems, it may be difficult, or sometimes impossible, to obtain a mathematical dynamical model from physical laws. In that case, one can try to describe the dynamical behavior through so-called input-output relations, where the input signals correspond to perturbations or actions, and the outputs to system measurements. This “input-output representation” approach is also called the “frequency-domain” approach.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The symbol \(\mathrm O \) corresponds to the Big-O notation: \(f(z)=\mathrm O \big (g(z)\big )\) as \(z\rightarrow z_{0}\) if and only if there exist a positive constant \(\alpha \) and a neighborhood \(V\) of \(z_{0}\) such that \(|f(z)| \le \alpha |g(z)|\), \(\forall z \in V\).
