Replacing for
(2.44)
whose energy is obtained from:
(2.45)
In the aforementioned equation, the matrix in the parentheses is called the continuous‐time observability Gramian matrix:
(2.46)
From its structure, it is obvious that the observability Gramian matrix is symmetric and nonnegative. If we apply a transformation,
(2.47)
can be rewritten as:
(2.48)
If the transformation
2.5.2 Discrete‐Time LTV Systems
The state‐space model of a discrete‐time LTV system is represented by the following algebraic and difference equations:
Before proceeding with a discussion on the observability condition, we need to define the discrete‐time state‐transition matrix,
(2.51)
with the initial condition:
(2.52)
The reason that
(2.53)
with
(2.54)
Following a discussion on energy of the system output similar to the continuous‐time case, we reach the following definition for the discrete‐time observability Gramian matrix:
