public class LinearStateSpace
extends TypedCompositeActor

Linear state space model in the CT domain.

The State-Space model implements a system whose behavior is defined by:

 dx/dt = Ax + Bu
 y = Cx + Du
 x(0) = x0
 

where x is the state vector, u is the input vector, and y is the output vector. The matrix coefficients must have the following characteristics:

 A must be an n-by-n matrix, where n is the number of states.
 B must be an n-by-m matrix, where m is the number of inputs.
 C must be an r-by-n matrix, where r is the number of outputs.
 D must be an r-by-m matrix.
 

The actor accepts m inputs and generates r outputs through a multi-input port and a multi-output port. The widths of the ports must match the number of rows and columns in corresponding matrices, otherwise, an exception will be thrown.

This actor works like a higher-order function. It is opaque after construction or the change of parameters. Upon preinitialization, the actor will create a subsystem using integrators, adders, and scales. After that, the actor becomes transparent, and the director takes over the control of the actors contained by this actor.

Constructor Detail

LinearStateSpace

public LinearStateSpace(CompositeEntity container,
                        java.lang.String name)
                 throws NameDuplicationException,
                        IllegalActionException

Construct the composite actor with a name and a container. This constructor creates the ports, parameters, and the icon.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name.

Throws:

NameDuplicationException - If another entity already had this name.

IllegalActionException - If there was an internal problem.

Method Detail

attributeChanged

public void attributeChanged(Attribute attribute)
                      throws IllegalActionException

If the argument is A, B, C, D or initialState parameters, check that they are indeed matrices and vectors, and request for initialization from the director if there is one. Other sanity checks like the dimensions of the matrices will be done in the preinitialize() method.

Overrides:

attributeChanged in class NamedObj

Parameters:

attribute - The attribute that changed.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the numerator and the denominator matrix is not a row vector.

getDirector

public Director getDirector()

Return the executive director, regardless what isOpaque() returns. //FIXME: this is not what this method does!!!

Specified by:

getDirector in interface Actor

Overrides:

getDirector in class CompositeActor

Returns:

the executive director.

See Also:

CompositeActor.setDirector(Director)

isOpaque

public boolean isOpaque()

Return the opaqueness of this composite actor. This actor is opaque if it has not been preinitialized after creation or changes of parameters. Otherwise, it is not opaque.

Overrides:

isOpaque in class CompositeActor

Returns:

True if the entity is opaque.

See Also:

CompositeEntity

postfire

public boolean postfire()
                 throws IllegalActionException

Request the reinitialization.

Specified by:

postfire in interface Executable

Overrides:

postfire in class CompositeActor

Returns:

True if the super class returns true.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If thrown by super class.

preinitialize

public void preinitialize()
                   throws IllegalActionException

Sanity check the parameters; if the parameters are legal create a continuous-time subsystem that implement the model, preinitialize all the actors in the subsystem, and set the opaqueness of this actor to true. This method needs the write access on the workspace.

Specified by:

preinitialize in interface Initializable

Overrides:

preinitialize in class CompositeActor

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If there is no CTDirector, or any contained actors throw it in its preinitialize() method.

stopFire

public void stopFire()

Stop the current firing. This method overrides the stopFire() method in TypedCompositeActor base class, so that it will not invoke the local director (since there is none). This method should not be called after initialization phase, i.e. when the actor is transparent.

Specified by:

stopFire in interface Executable

Overrides:

stopFire in class CompositeActor

wrapup

public void wrapup()
            throws IllegalActionException

Set the opaqueness back to true and call the wrapup() method of the super class.

Specified by:

wrapup in interface Initializable

Overrides:

wrapup in class CompositeActor

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If there is no director.

_checkParameters

private void _checkParameters()
                       throws IllegalActionException

Check the dimensions of all parameters and ports.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the dimensions are illegal.

_requestInitialization

private void _requestInitialization()

Set this composite actor to opaque and request for reinitialization from the director if there is one.
