Problem

Suppose is rational, proper, and BIBO stable. For some fixed positive integer , show is stable.

Given: is real, rational, proper, BIBO stable. WTS: is stable.

Strategy A:

  • is real, rational, proper, and BIBO stable
  • is stable
    • (theorem from class)
  • Let be the set of poles of
  • with
    • (since is rational)
  • Since is stable, the lies on the open unit disk
    • (definition of stability)
  • From this expression, we see the multiplicity of the poles above, but pole locations have not changed
  • Thus,
  • lie in open unit disk
    • (since s lies in the open unit disk)
  • is stable
    • (definition of stability)

Strategy B:

  • is real, rational, proper, and BIBO stable
  • Let be bounded. Say for some .
  • Let
  • We have:

Steady-State Value Example

What is the steady-state value of when , ?

We have:

So:

Case b:
