15 impulse type terms we have J dj I a. T- u(t) =0 t > 0 (2-18) j=0 J dtJ K This is exactly of the form given by (2-4). We now give further motivation for the assumption that u (t) satisfies equation (2-4) by showing an example of a nonlinear system where this is indeed the case. Example 2.2 Consider the system x(t) = 3x(t) + x2(t) + (2x2(t) + 4)w(t) + u(t) y(t) = x (t) (2-19) where we desire y*(t) = r*(t) constant. Thus djSincot and the disturbance is x (t) = o^sintot k, . w (t) = ou (2-20) where and are constants. Substituting (2-20) into (2-19) yields the following 12 2 * ctjWCOSwt = 3a^sin)t +(l-COS2ait) + [a^ (l-cos2a>t) + 4]a^ + U (t) (2-21)
