This paper concerns the characterization of qualitative behavior of a closed‐loop quantized system. A quantized system is a dynamical system, which instead of knowing its state x(t) and its input u(t) precisely, their qualitative values [x(t)] and [u(t)] at a discrete time set T = {t0, t1, …, tk, …} are known. The qualitative state [x(t)] and the qualitative input [u(t)] are qualitative assessments of their precise values x(t) and u(t) respectively, and they can be related to each other via a non‐deterministic automaton description. The aim is to characterize the state behavior of a quantized system whenever its nondeterministic automaton description is given. The first result of the paper is derivation of a representation W(k + 1) = AW(k) for a nondeterministic closed‐loop automaton. The second result of the paper shows that the state‐behavior of a closed‐loop quantized system can be characterized according to the eigenvalues of matrix A in a similar manner with usual linear discrete‐time systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
