Abstract
Digital computers are being used more and more in control systems. As computer components become smaller and cheaper, the use of special purpose digital computers suggests itself for many control problems. Since the outputs of digital computers are piecewise constant functions with only a finite number of possible values, it seems worthwhile to re-examine some of our ideas about control systems with the computer in mind.
