Understanding the Z-Plane

From the series: Control Systems in Practice

Brian Douglas

This tech talk covers how the z-domain (or the z-plane) relates to the s-domain and the time and frequency domains. It also walks through why the z-plane is a polar plot and how the recursion coefficients are the same as z-domain transfer function coefficients.

This video introduces a really intuitive way to solve a constrained optimization problem using Lagrange multipliers. We can use them to find the minimum or maximum of a function, J(x), subject to the constraint C(x) = 0.
