Nonlinear Systems
The more general form of a state space model can be written as two functions.
The first is the state equation and the latter is the output equation. If the function is a linear combination of states and inputs then the equations can be written in matrix notation like above. The argument to the functions can be dropped if the system is unforced (i.e., it has no inputs).

Famous quotes containing the word systems:
“Before anything else, we need a new age of Enlightenment. Our present political systems must relinquish their claims on truth, justice and freedom and have to replace them with the search for truth, justice, freedom and reason.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
