Consider the following open-loop transfer functions, where G(s) = Y(s) / U(s) . Y(s) is the Laplace transform of the output, and U(s) is the Laplace transform of the input control signal: i. \G(s) = \(\frac{(s+3)}{(s+4)^2}\) ii. G(s) = \(\frac{s}{(s+5)(s+7)}\) iii. G(s) = \(\frac{20 s(s+7)}{(s+3)(s+7)(s+9)}\) iv. G(s) = \(\frac{30(s+2)(s+3)}{(s+4)(s+5)(s+6)}\) v. G(s) = \(\frac{s^2+8 s+15}{\left(s^2+4 s+10\right)\left(s^2+3 s+12\right)}\) For each of these transfer functions, do the following: [Section: 12.2] a. Draw the signal-flow graph in phase-variable form. b. Add state-variable feedback to the signal-flow graph. c. For each closed-loop signal-flow graph, write the state equations. d. Write, by inspection, the closed-loop transfer function, T(s), for your closed-loop signal-flow graphs. e. Verify your answers for T(s) by finding the closed loop transfer functions from the state equations and Eq. (3.73).

Question
Observability and controllability properties depend on the state-space representation chosen for a given system. In general, observability and controllability are affected when pole-zero cancellations are present in the transfer function. Consider the following two systems with representations:
\(\dot{x}_i\) = \(\mathbf{A}_i \mathbf{x}_i=\mathbf{B}_i r\)
y = \(\mathbf{C}_i \mathbf{x}_i\)
\(\mathbf{A}_1=\left[\begin{array}{rr} 0 & 1 \\ -2 & -3 \end{array}\right] ; \quad \mathbf{B}_1=\left[\begin{array}{l} 0 \\ 1 \end{array}\right] ; \quad \mathbf{C}_1=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 2 & 0 \end{array}\right]\)
\(\mathbf{A}_2=\left[\begin{array}{rrr} 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \\ -6 & -11 & -6 \end{array}\right] ; \mathbf{B}_2=\left[\begin{array}{l} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{array}\right] ; \mathbf{C}_2=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 6 & 2 & 0 \end{array}\right]\)
a. Show that both systems have the same transfer function \(G_i(s)\) = \(\frac{Y(s)}{R(s)}\) after pole-zero cancellations.
b. Evaluate the observability of both systems.
Solution
The first step in solving 12 problem number 31 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Observability and controllability properties depend on the state-space representation chosen for a given system. In general, observability and controllability are affected when pole-zero cancellations are present in the transfer function. Consider the following two systems with representations:\(\dot{x}_i\) = \(\mathbf{A}_i \mathbf{x}_i=\mathbf{B}_i r\)y = \(\mathbf{C}_i \mathbf{x}_i\)\(\mathbf{A}_1=\left[\begin{array}{rr} 0 & 1 \\ -2 & -3 \end{array}\right] ; \quad \mathbf{B}_1=\left[\begin{array}{l} 0 \\ 1 \end{array}\right] ; \quad \mathbf{C}_1=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 2 & 0 \end{array}\right]\)\(\mathbf{A}_2=\left[\begin{array}{rrr} 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \\ -6 & -11 & -6 \end{array}\right] ; \mathbf{B}_2=\left[\begin{array}{l} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{array}\right] ; \mathbf{C}_2=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 6 & 2 & 0 \end{array}\right]\)a. Show that both systems have the same transfer function \(G_i(s)\) = \(\frac{Y(s)}{R(s)}\) after pole-zero cancellations.b. Evaluate the observability of both systems.
