Tilayhtälömalli, often translated as state-space model, is a mathematical framework used to describe the behavior of dynamical systems. It represents a system as a set of first-order differential or difference equations. These equations consist of two main components: state equations and output equations.

The state equations describe how the internal state variables of the system evolve over time. These state variables encapsulate all the necessary information about the system at any given moment. The output equations, on the other hand, relate the observable outputs of the system to its internal state variables and possibly to any external inputs.

State-space models are particularly powerful because they can represent a wide range of systems, including linear and nonlinear, time-invariant and time-varying systems. They are widely used in various fields such as control engineering, economics, signal processing, and robotics. In control engineering, for instance, state-space models are fundamental for designing controllers that can steer a system to a desired state.

The advantages of state-space representation include its ability to handle multi-input and multi-output systems naturally, its generality, and its suitability for computer-aided analysis and design. The mathematical formulation allows for systematic analysis of system properties like stability, controllability, and observability.
