1) The document discusses state equations that can model digital control systems based on modulo-2 arithmetic and their application to recursive convolutional coding.
2) State equations can be derived from the transfer function of a discrete-time controller and expressed using modulo-2 arithmetic.
3) A recursive convolutional encoder can be modeled by state equations in modulo-2 algebra, where the state at each time step is a function of the previous states and the input bit.
