[2] Consider an ni-th order system described by SystemI:x,(t)=Ax(t)+Bu(t)y(t)=Cx(t) and an n2-th order system described by SystemII:x(t=Ax(t)+Bu(t),y(t=Cx(t)
Assume that System I and system II are both controllable and observable.
a. State condition(s) so that the series combination of System I and II in Figl (a) is controllable and observable. The input and output of the combined system is u, and y,, respectively.
b. State condition(s) so that the parallel combination of System I and II in Figl (b) is controllable and observable. The input and output of the combined system is u = u, = u, andy = yy + Y2 .
Note:In both combinations, the order of the combined system ni and n2
