Still in the discrete state case, letting = and assuming that the system initially is found in state , the Kolmogorov forward equations describe an initial-value problem for finding the probabilities of the process, given the quantities ().
Unlike a continuous-time signal, a discrete-time signal is not a function of a continuous argument; however, it may have been obtained by sampling from a continuous-time signal. When a discrete-time signal is obtained by sampling a sequence at uniformly spaced times, it has an associated sampling rate. Discrete-time signals may have several ...
A discrete dynamical system, discrete-time dynamical system is a tuple (T, M, Φ), where M is a manifold locally diffeomorphic to a Banach space, and Φ is a function. When T is taken to be the integers, it is a cascade or a map. If T is restricted to the non-negative integers we call the system a semi-cascade. [14]
A master equation is a phenomenological set of first-order differential equations describing the time evolution of (usually) the probability of a system to occupy each one of a discrete set of states with regard to a continuous time variable t.
One type of iteration can be obtained in the discrete time case by using the dynamic Riccati equation that arises in the finite-horizon problem: in the latter type of problem each iteration of the value of the matrix is relevant for optimal choice at each period that is a finite distance in time from a final time period, and if it is iterated ...
In particular, the discrete-time Lyapunov equation (also known as Stein equation) for is A X A H − X + Q = 0 {\displaystyle AXA^{H}-X+Q=0} where Q {\displaystyle Q} is a Hermitian matrix and A H {\displaystyle A^{H}} is the conjugate transpose of A {\displaystyle A} , while the continuous-time Lyapunov equation is
Continuous dynamic systems can only be captured by a continuous simulation model, while discrete dynamic systems can be captured either in a more abstract manner by a continuous simulation model (like the Lotka-Volterra equations for modeling a predator-prey eco-system) or in a more realistic manner by a discrete event simulation model (in a ...
A computer is a finite-state machine that may be viewed as a discrete system. Because computers are often used to model not only other discrete systems but continuous systems as well, methods have been developed to represent real-world continuous systems as discrete systems. One such method involves sampling a continuous signal at discrete time ...
