This letter derives the transform relationship between differential equations to difference equations and vice-versa, applied to computer control systems. The key is to obtain the rational fraction transfer function model of a time-invariant linear differential equation system, using the Laplace transform, and to obtain the impulse transfer function model of a time-invariant linear difference equation, using the shift operator. Finally, we find the discrete-time models of the first-order, second-order and third-order systems from their continuous-time models and vice-versa and find the mapping relationship between the coefficients of discrete-time models and the continuous-time models using the bilinear transform. An example is provided to demonstrate the proposed model transform methods.
