A general description of linear, switched-parameter
systems is developed in terms of the mathematics of state
variables. The restrictions imposed by the grouping of
state variables and by' the "core" states of the system upon
the coefficient matrices are considered. Two procedures
for determining the element values of those matrices are
each illustrated with an example. A general expression
for a Cost function to be used to measure system quality
is developed and illustrated with two examples. Extensive
recommendations for future work are made. Several examples
of the utility of a cost function minimization technique
for the improvement of the step responses of some switched parameter
systems are presented.
