1. Identify the Jordan blocks.

2. List the eigenvalues of the matrix.

3. What is the algebraic multiplicity of each eigenvalue?

4. What is the geometric multiplicity of each eigenvalue?

5. Let A = QJQ−1 . Consider the continuous time system ẋ = Ax and


the discrete time system xk+1 = Axk . In each case, determine whether
the system is asymptotically stable, marginally stable or unstable.

Problem 4 (15 points) Stability


Suppose we have two systems:

x˙1 = A1 x1 + B1 u1 (1)
x˙2 = A2 x2 (2)

with x1 ∈ Rn , u1 ∈ Rm and x2 ∈ Rp . Both systems are asymptotically


stable in the sense of Lyapunov. Next, assume the control input u1 applied
to system (1) depends linearly on the state of system (2). E.g., u1 = Kx2 .
With this interconnection between the systems, we have:

x˙1 = A1 x1 + B1 Kx2
x˙2 = A2 x2

Prove that this new, interconnected system is also asymptotically stable for
any K.

Problem 5 (20 points) Lyapanov Functions


Consider the system
ẋ(t) = Ax(t), x(0) = x0
and assume it is asymptotically stable. Suppose there exist a real number
µ > 0 and positive definite matrix P such that AT P + P A + µP is negative
definite. Define V (t) = x(t)T P x(t). Prove that

V (t) ≤ V (0)e−µt
