The paper presents a developed method with algorithms written in Matlab language to find the numerical solution of nth-order state-space equations (SSE) of linear continuous-time control system by using Scraton method. State-space equation is the modern representation to analysis continuous-time system. It was treated numerically to the single-input-single-output (SISO) systems as well as multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems by using fourth-order Scraton method. Scraton method employed to find the output values of the state-space equations. Comparisons between the numerical and exact results are given for some numerical examples to conciliate the accuracy of the proposed method. Key words: State-space equation, Scraton method, Control system and Algorithms.1. Introduction Control systems are playing vital role in our life for instance: thermostat, automatic control of airplane, etc. The system is a combination of component that act together and perform a certain objective [1,2].In recent years, automatic control systems have assumed an increasingly important role in the development and advancement of modern civilization and technology. They are employed in numerous applications, such as quality control of manufactured products and machine tooling. The basic control system problem may be described by the simple block diagram shown in figure (1) [1,3,4].} }
