The state transition matrix for the system X- = AX with initial state ...
Explanation:
To understand why the correct answer is option 'C', let's break down the given options and discuss each one.
Option A: (sI-A)-1
This represents the inverse Laplace transform of (sI-A)-1. However, the Laplace transform is used to solve initial value problems, not state space equations. Therefore, this option is not applicable in this case.
Option B: eAtX(0)
This represents the solution to the state space equation X- = AX with initial condition X(0). It is the form of the solution when exponential matrix is used. However, this option is not the state transition matrix.
Option C: Laplace inverse of [(s I-A)-1]
This is the correct answer. The Laplace inverse of [(s I-A)-1] gives the state transition matrix. The state transition matrix, denoted as ϕ(t), is defined as the solution to the state space equation X- = AX with initial condition X(0) = I, where I is the identity matrix. The state transition matrix represents the time evolution of the system.
Option D: Laplace inverse of [(sI-A)-1X(0)]
This option is incorrect because it represents the solution to the state space equation X- = AX with initial condition X(0). It is the form of the solution when the initial condition is given. However, the state transition matrix is independent of the initial condition.
Conclusion:
The correct answer is option 'C' because the Laplace inverse of [(s I-A)-1] gives the state transition matrix, which represents the time evolution of the system.
