The first term represents the response to a set of initial conditions, whilst the
integral term represents the response to a forcing function.

Discrete-time solution of the state vector differential equation
• The discrete-time solution of the state equation may be the vector equivalent of the
scalar difference equation method developed from a z-transform
The continuous-time solution of the state equation is given
If the time interval (t — t0) in this equation is T, the sampling time of a discrete-time system,
then the discrete-time solution of the state equation can be written as

• Example 2: (a) Calculate the discrete-time transition and control
matrices for the spring-mass- damper system in Example 1 using a
sampling time T = 0.1 seconds.
(b) Using the matrix vector difference equation method, determine
the unit step response assuming zero initial conditions.

An approximate value of B(T ) is found from equation B(T), taking the series as far
as k = 2.
