91 z-transform of x (k) and U (z) denote the z-transform of u (k) we have JL OtrtZ u (z) = 2 (5-24) z 2zcoswT + 1 The minimum polynomial having roots corresponding to the poles of both jlf X (z) and U (z) determines the difference equation (5-17). In our example, this polynomial is obtained by multiplying together the denominator polynomials of X*(z) and U*(z). The result is the following (z-l)(z2- 2zcoscdT + 1) = z3 [l+2coso)T]z2 + [l+2coswT]z 1 (5-25) Hence, the difference equation is s(k+3) [l+2coswT]s(k+2) + [l+2cosuT]s(k+1) s(k) = 0 (5-26) s(j) = x*(j) or u*(j) and the matrix is Ch = 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 -(l+2coswT) (1+2cosiT) (5-27) We now consider selection of the feedback gains. Notice in Figure 5-4 that the feedback control law is
