Creating and Manipulating Models

Linear, Time-Invariant Models

The Control System Toolbox offers extensive tools to manipulate and analyze linear time-invariant (LTI) models. It supports both continuous- and discrete-time systems. Systems can be single-input/single-output (SISO) or multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO). In addition, you can store several LTI models in an array under a single variable name. See Chapter 4, "Arrays of LTI Models" for information on LTI arrays.

This section introduces key concepts about the MATLAB representation of LTI models, including:

• LTI Model Formats
• Using LTI Models
• LTI Objects
• Precedence Rules
• See "Viewing LTI Systems As Matrices
