Closed form solution for Double Integrators dynamics












0












$begingroup$


I have a relatively specific problem. Consider a linear system, $dot{x}(t) = Ax(t)+Bu(t)$, where $A in mathbb{R}^{n times n}$ and $B in mathbb{R}^{n times 1}$ are the constant matrix and constant vector that defines the system.



The closed-form for a linear system with a constant control input $u(t) := u_k, forall tin [0, T]$ has the following form:
$x(t) = e^{At}x(0) + int_{0}^{T} e^{A(t-tau)} dtau Bu$. If $A$ is non-singular (invertible), then $int_{0}^{T} e^{A(t-tau)} dtau $ can be rewrite to $A^{-1}(e^{AT}-I)$, where $I$ is an identity matrix with appropriate dimension. At this point, I can rewrite $x(t) = e^{At}x(0) + A^{-1}(e^{AT}-I) Bu$, which does not have the integral.



But a lot of systems in real-life have a singular matrix $A$ for its dynamics ($A$ is not invertible ), such as a double integrators with $A = [0,1;0,0]$. In this case, are there any alternatives for me to write its closed-form solution that does not contain integral?

          You can use a trick that is also often used to obtain a zero-order-hold discetization. Namely



          $$
          e^{begin{bmatrix}A & B \ 0 & 0end{bmatrix}t} =
          begin{bmatrix}e^{A,t} & int_0^t e^{A(t-tau)} dtau,B \ 0 & Iend{bmatrix}.
          $$



          If you want to verify this for yourself you can try to expand the matrix exponential, which can be defined as



          $$
          e^M = I + M + tfrac{1}{2}M^2 + tfrac{1}{3!}M^3 + cdots.
          $$
