The state space or phase space is the geometric space in which the axes are the state variables. The system state can be represented as a vector , the state vector . If the dynamical system is linear, time-invariant, and finite-dimensional, then the differential and algebraic equations may be written in matrix form.
If the size of the state space is finite, calculating the size of the state space is a combinatorial problem. [4] For example, in the Eight queens puzzle, the state space can be calculated by counting all possible ways to place 8 pieces on an 8x8 chessboard. This is the same as choosing 8 positions without replacement from a set of 64, or
State-space representation is especially powerful as it allows complex multi-order differential system to be solved as a system of first-order equations instead. The general form of the state equation is ˙ = + where () is a column matrix of the state variables, or the unknowns of the system.
The state-transition matrix is used to find the solution to a general state-space representation of a linear system in the following form ˙ = () + (), =, where () are the states of the system, () is the input signal, () and () are matrix functions, and is the initial condition at .
By Gelfand representation, every commutative C*-algebra A is of the form C 0 (X) for some locally compact Hausdorff X. In this case, S(A) consists of positive Radon measures on X, and the pure states are the evaluation functionals on X. More generally, the GNS construction shows that every state is, after choosing a suitable representation, a ...
Consider a physical system modeled in state-space representation. A system is said to be observable if, for every possible evolution of state and control vectors, the current state can be estimated using only the information from outputs (physically, this generally corresponds to information obtained by sensors). In other words, one can ...
In control engineering, a state-space representation is a mathematical model of a physical system as a set of input, output, and state variables, related by first-order differential equations. The dynamic evolution of a nonlinear, non-autonomous system is represented by
This quantum state can be represented as a superposition of basis states. In principle one is free to choose the set of basis states, as long as they span the state space. If one chooses the (generalized) eigenfunctions of the position operator as a set of basis functions, one speaks of a state as a wave function ψ(r) in position space.
