Description

This block is a single step discrete integrator.
The output vector is the integral of the input vector computed with the first order "backward Euler" method defined by the following formula :

$$\begin{eqnarray} y_{k}=h\;u_{k}+y_{k-1}, \end{eqnarray}$$

where $h$ is the time step, $u_{k}$ the input vector and $y_{k}$ the output vector.

Dialog box

• Step
  Integration time step.
  Type 'vec' of size 1.

• Initial state
  Initial value of output state.
  Type 'vec' of size -1.
