What is the finite eigenvalue of a controlled system as $\epsilon \rightarrow 0$?
Consider a state space system (A, B) as follows:
$$A = \begin{bmatrix}
a_1 & a_2 \\
-a_2 & 0 \\
\end{bmatrix},
B= \begin{bmatrix}
0 \\
1 \\
\end{bmatrix}$$
where $a_1$ ...

Is a full rank square matrix necessarily a positive definite matrix?
(Skagestad, 2005) states the following conclusion in page 128.
"The system $(A, B)$ is state controllable if and only if the Gramian matrix $W(t)$ has full rank (and thus is positive definite) for ...

Dynamic real-time system problem
I am struggling with a systems theory problem, the task is as follows:
u(t) -> H(s) -> y(t)
H(s) being the transfer function
$$
H(s) = H(s) = \frac{s+1}{s(s+2)^{2}}
$$
$$
u(t) = e^{-5t}
