Introduction
In many practical applications, circuits consist of numerous energy storage elements. Differential
equations describing such circuits are then generally of high order. A nth order differential equation is
not generally suitable for computer simulation; it is best to obtain a set of n-differential equation from
the given nth order differential equation, using a set of auxiliary variables called state variables. The
transfer function is the classical approach, using frequency domain technique deals with input and
output only and is unable to give any information about the internal state of the system. On the other
hand, modern control theory based on the state variable approach gives all the internal states of the
system. In order to have a perfect design of the feedback control system, all the states may be required
to be fed back with proper weights. The state variable approach is a time-domain technique. The state
of a dynamic system is the minimal amount of information required together with the initial
conditions at t=t0 and input excitation, to completely specify the future behavior of the system for any
time t> t0.

Conversion of State variable models to Transfer functions
Two of the most powerful (and common) ways to represent systems are the transfer function form and
the state space form.
