Abstract:
This paper presents methods for model conversions of continuous-time state-space equations and discrete-time state-space equations. An improved geometric-series method is presented for converting continuous-time models to equivalent discrete-time models. Also, a direct truncation method, a matrix continued fraction method and a geometric-series method are presented for converting discrete models to equivalent continuous models. As a result, many well-developed theorems and methods in either continuous or discrete domains can be effectively applied to a suitable model in either domain.
