Systems:
A group of objects joined
together in some regular
interaction or
interdependence towards the
accomplishment of some
purpose.

Systems Environment:
System Environment
A system is affected by o/p
changes that occur outside its i/p
boundaries. Such changes are
said to occur in the system
environment

Types of Systems
Static System: If a system does not change with time, it is •
dynamic system.
17
Dynamic Systems
A system is said to be dynamic if its current output may
depend on the past history as well as the present values of the
input variables. Mathematically,
y (t ) = [u ( ) , 0 t ]
u : Input , t : Time
= u

Model
• A model is a simplified representation or
abstraction of reality.
• Reality is generally too complex to copy
exactly.
• Much of the complexity is actually irrelevant
in problem solving.

What is Mathematical Model?
A set of mathematical equations (e.g., differential eqs.)
that describes the input-output behavior of a system.

Black Box Model
When only input and output are known.
Internal dynamics are either too complex or
unknown.
Input Output
Easy to Model
28
Grey Box Model
When input and output and some information about
the internal dynamics of the system is known.
u(t) y(t)
y[u(t), t]
29
White Box Model
When input and output and internal dynamics of the
system is known.

Mathematical Modelling Basics
Mathematical model of a real world system is derived using
a combination of physical laws and/or experimental means
