EXPERT ANSWER 6 . Let the pre-image of (-6,-26,-2)T be x = (a,b,c)T where a,b, c are arbitrary real numbers. Then T(x) =Ax = (-6,-26,-2)T or, (a-3b+2c, b-2c, 5a-16b+10c)T = (-6,-26,-2)T . Hence, a-3b+2c = -6 …(1), b-2c = -26…(2) and 5a-16b+10c= 10…(3). The augmented matrix of the above linear system of equations is M (say)= 1 -3 2 -6 …

R-1 m-1 -0.12 -0.011 2 7. In each of the following 10 questions, pick up the best from the underlined five options. (1) A dynamical system with double poles at tj exhibits in (A) instability (B) marginal stability; (C) asymptotic stability (D) sustained oscillation (E) not the above. (2) Let D denote the derivative operator D=d/dt. Suppose a linear time-invariant (LTI) system G described as (D” + a,D*- + a,D* *+..+a, D+ a, y = (b,D” + b,D”- +…+bD+ b, u has zero initial conditions, and outputs y(t)= e. sint +2e cos 2t when subject to a unit-pulse u impulse. What is the value of n? (A) 2 (B) 3 (C) 4 (D) 6 (E) the information is not enough to determine the answer. Y(S) (3) As for a second-order system G(s) = its rising time and settling R(S) s? +2E0,5 +02 time, as we know, are mostly concerned with the natural frequency 0,. Which of the following does not properly make a sense to this phenomenon? (A) Higher-frequency vibration causes a higher damping (B) Lower natural frequency means lower stiffness, which in turns suggests the system be “soft”, and a “soft” system to an excitation takes longer time to settle down (C) Higher natural-frequency means higher stiffness, implying that the system is “hard”, and a hard system responses sharply to an impact (D) Higher-frequency vibration takes shorter time to cross a preset value (E) quick vibration quickly stops. (4) A simple harmonic motion governed by j+oʻy=0 with specified initial conditions being y(0)= y, and y(0)=v, has the general solution: y(t)=c, cos mt +c, sin ot, where two constants and c, are dependent on y, and v, . The value of a determines the frequency of the displacement y. As o is getting smaller, the displacement y is getting closer to DC level, and at the limit it becomes a constant y(t)=c,. On the other hand, as w=0, the governing equation becomes j=0, the solution of which is y(t) = y, +vet (an unstable system). Therefore, a seemingly contradiction happens. Such a contradiction happens because the above analysis did not (A) define the origin of time axis (B) distinguish existence from stability (C) specify whether the underlying application-range is an open set or a closed set (D) well tell DC signals from AC signals (E) know the limitation of mathematical analysis on physical systems.

7. Show that asymptotical stability of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems is equivalent to quadratic Lyapunov stability. The proof needs to comprise the following two parts: (a) If a real matrix A has all eigenvalues in the left-hand plane, then the Lyapunov equation: A” P+PA+Q=0, Q>0, has a unique, positive-definite solution of P. (b) For any P=P”>0, Q=Q” >0, the Lyapunov equation: A’ P+PA+Q=0 implies that eigenvalues of the real matrix A are all in the left-hand plane.

Vehicles begin to arrive at a park entrance at 7:45 A.M. at a constant rate of six per minute and at a constant rate of four vehicles per minute from 8 A.M. on. The park opens at 8:00 A.M. and the manager wants to set the departure rate so that the average delay per vehicle is no greater than 9 minutes ( measured from the time of the first arrival until the total queue clears). Assuming D/D/1 queuing, what is the minimum departure rate needed to acheive this?
