Discretization concerns the process of transferring continuous models and equations into discrete counterparts, suitable for numerical evaluation and implementation on computers.
- Euler discretization
- Zero order hold
Discretization is also somewhat connected to discrete mathematics.
Discretization of Linear State Space Models
The following continuous state space model
may be discretized, assuming zero-order hold, to
where
- , if A is nonsingular
- Cd = C
- Dd = D
and Ts is the sample time.
