e to the power of infinity is infinity (∞). e is raised to the negative infinity then it becomes a very small number and hence tends to zero. According to the definition the examples of Systems become UNSTABLE S1 – for any input other than cos(t) or sin(t) – the output is bounded like for input 1 or input as any cos for any angular frequency other than 1 - Input is a sinusoid whose angular frequency is equal to the magnitude of the poles on the imaginary axis – the output is unbounded(magnitude of the poles – 1) So some call this system – MARGINALLY STABLE or CRITICALLY STABLE S2 – Pole at the origin – non-repeating – step input – o/p is unbounded For all other sinusoidal inputs – o/p is bounded For Repeating Poles BIBO Stability Sufficient Condition for BIBO Stability – above Poles are connected to System Stability Impact of zeroes on System Response Dominant Poles – Poles that are closer to the imaginary axis and these poles have a long lingering effect on y(t) than which are further from the imaginary axis Example 2 – zeroes are present – - Affects the residues Affects the steady state value Relatively the dominance of -1 pole reduced Zeroes affect the residues of partial fractions(coefficients) Zero in the RHP – the step response will start of in direction and reverse its direction and go to the next direction Pink curve is approximation – used in design(tools cannot be used for the actual step response)
