State Space Model
A State Space Model is a mathematical framework used to describe dynamic systems. It represents the system's state at any given time using a set of variables, known as state variables. These variables capture the essential information needed to predict future behavior based on current conditions. The model typically consists of two main equations: one for the system's dynamics and another for the output.
In control theory and engineering, State Space Models are valuable for analyzing and designing systems like automobiles, robots, and aerospace systems. They allow for the incorporation of multiple inputs and outputs, making them suitable for complex systems. This approach provides a comprehensive way to understand and control system behavior over time.
