to balance a light stick with a weight on top is given by the equation State necessary and sufficient condition for controllability in terms of A and B.
Show that if the system is controllable and Π0 = 0, then Ft (x) is monotone increasing
ẍ1 = α(x1 − u) in t and tends to the finite limit x⊤ Πx, where Π = f (R, A, B, Π).
Suppose now that xt+1 = Axt + But + ǫt , where {ǫt } is noise, Eǫt = 0, Eǫt ǫ⊤ t = N,
where x1 is the horizontal displacement of the top of the stick from some fixed point
and ǫs and ǫt are independent for s 6= t. Moreover, x0 is known, but x1 , x2 , . . . cannot
