Abstract

A parameterization of the class of linear state-feedback controllers that assign a set of desired self-conjugate eigenvalues to the closed-loop system is applied to give a method for maximal order reduction of proper transfer function matrices. By making the maximum number of closed-loop modes unobservable, while retaining arbitrary assignment of the remaining modes, a lower-order transfer function matrix is obtained. The method establishes that results concerning the existence, number, and cancellation of zeros of proper transfer-function matrices may be applied in the response insensitivity problem. The main result is a class of maximal order reducing fixed-gain state-feedback controllers explicitly specified by a set of free parameters which may be chosen to satisfy additional design requirements.
