In
control theory, the
state-transition matrix is a matrix whose product with the state vector

at an initial time

gives

at a later time

. The state-transition matrix can be used to obtain the general solution of linear dynamical systems. It is also known as the
matrix exponential.
Overview
Consider the general linear
state space model


The general solution is given by

The state-transition matrix

, given by

where

is the fundamental solution matrix that satisfies

is a

matrix that is a linear mapping onto itself, i.e., with

, given the state

at any time

, the state at any other time

is given by the mapping

While the state transition matrix φ is not completely unknown, it must always satisfy the following relationships:
and
for all
and where
is the identity matrix.[1]
And φ also must have the following properties:
-
If the system is
time-invariant, we can define φ as:
