• These eigenvalues are fundamental: they determine
- the stability
- the dynamic properties
- the free and forced evolution
of a system.
Mode analysis – Natural modes
Definition. The natural modes of the system are the inverse Laplace
transforms of the partial fractions associated to the eigenvalues.

Mode analysis – Classification II
• Real
modes:
Definition. The modes of a transfer function 𝐺(𝑠) are the inverse Laplace
transforms of its partial fractions.
• Analogously:
Definition. The modes of a signal 𝑌(𝑠) are the inverse Laplace transforms
of its partial fractions.

• If the system is not CCO, the modes of 𝐺(𝑠) are a subset of the
natural modes of the system.
