This document provides instructions for a homework assignment to construct a state-space representation of a ship steering problem using two different approaches. Students are asked to find the generalized plant P for a ship steering problem given the equation of motion and block diagram of the system, which includes a PD controller, low-pass filter, and integrator acting on the error between the ship's heading and reference input. The objective is to minimize the gain from an external disturbance input w to the error output z.

The ship steering problem
The equation of motion is where denotes the
heading of the ship, denotes the rudder angle and is the speed. The constants are given as a=0.3, b=0.8 and . The states of the system are chosen as . The PD controller is given as (kp=2.5, kd=2.15)
where it acts on the error term . We choose Wi as a second-order low-
pass filter with a cut-off frequency of 1 rad/s and take Wo as an approximate integrator for eliminating steady-state errors. That is, and . Our objective is to design an additional feedforward controller C as shown below to minimize the gain from w to z.
