Goes through in real time the solution of questions on creation of state space models from ODEs and transfer functions. Also conversions back to transfer function from a state space model and use of a similarity transform.

This resource shows how one can form a state space model from a transfer function. The process is analogous to that used for ODEs but with the extra subtlety of allowing more complex numerators than a constant. The resource gives the controllable canonical form only as this can be constructed by...
