Aug 31, 2017 at 11:28 comment added John Katsantas That is true in many cases unfortunately. There are many times I think they are trying to cover too much stuff in too little time.Anyway,I'll try to do as you said and be able to face the problem this way. Thanks for your time and help pasaba.

Aug 31, 2017 at 11:20 comment added pasaba por aqui (numbering rows and columns 1,2,..): \$ A_{2,1} = 0 \$ thus \$ x_2(t) \$ is unrelated of \$ x_1(t) \$; \$ B_1=0 \$ thus \$ x_2(t) \$ is unrelated to \$ u_1(t) \$, \$ x_2'(t)=2u_2(t) \$; finally, as C=(0,1), output y(t) is only related to \$ x_2(t) \$, \$ y(t)=x_2(t)\$. As result, the system is simply \$ y'(t)=2u(t) \$, an integrator.
Aug 31, 2017 at 11:09 comment added pasaba por aqui No, do not start by reading books nor taken notes (or going to magisterial class): relax, take time, and thing about what you have in front. Try to visualize and give sense to each part of the problem. Books are for reference, or to stablish an ordenation in the matter.
Aug 31, 2017 at 11:05 comment added pasaba por aqui Be careful that in this latest example you are assuming u(t) is the Heaviside function, when you say U(s)=1/s.
Aug 31, 2017 at 11:04 comment added John Katsantas Man, I want to understand everything the way you do. Any textbooks you can suggest?
Aug 31, 2017 at 10:58 comment added John Katsantas You are right but it doesn't affect the result I think. The x(0) still vanishes.
Aug 31, 2017 at 10:56 comment added pasaba por aqui I think there are an error in sign of \$ T_{1,2} \$

Aug 31, 2017 at 10:31 comment added pasaba por aqui In the case of the original question, the only C that mades zero y0(t) is (0,0)
Aug 31, 2017 at 10:20 comment added John Katsantas I solved a similar problem and the final formula y(t)=C(x(t) +x0(t)) gives Cx0(t)=0 and I'm only left with Cx(t)

Aug 31, 2017 at 8:29 comment added pasaba por aqui No, initial conditions can not be "cancelled" (if you are moving at 100 km/h, you can accelerate or decelerate, but not ignore you are moving). If C is not a constant but c(t) it means that the system is not time invariant. In this case, usually is easier calculation in time space y(t)=c(t)x(t) than calculation in Laplace space L-1{convolution(L{c(t)},L{x(t)})}

Aug 30, 2017 at 19:53 comment added John Katsantas Is there a chance the initial conditions are not in y(t)? I mean C could cancel them out right?

Aug 30, 2017 at 19:42 comment added pasaba por aqui Taken into account that C is a constant, y(t)=Cx(t) and Y(s)=CX(s), you can do the multiplication in time or Laplace space.
Aug 30, 2017 at 19:39 comment added John Katsantas Very helpful. I assume I can also find X(s), replace in Y(s)=CX(s) and then taking the inverse Laplace transform find y(t). Is that correct?
