Abstract

It is well-known from the elementary theory of servomechanisms that a single-input single-output linear system, whose transfer function has all zeros in the left-half complex plane can be stabilized via output feedback. If the transfer function of the system has n poles and m zeros, the feedback in question is a dynamical system of dimension \(n-m-1\), whose eigenvalues (in case \(n-m>1\)) are far away in the left-half complex plane. In this chapter, this result is reviewed using a state-space approach. This makes it possible to systematically handle the case of systems whose coefficients depend on uncertain parameters and serves as a preparation to a similar set of results that will be presented in Chap. 6 for nonlinear systems.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The parameter \(K^{\prime }\) is sometimes referred to as the high-frequency gain of the system.

  2. 2.

    For a proof see, e.g., [1, pp. 142–144].

  3. 3.

    A triplet of matrices of this kind is often referred to as a triplet in prime form.

  4. 4.

    The formula in question is

    $$ \mathrm{det}\left( \begin{matrix}S &{} P \\ Q &{} R\\ \end{matrix}\right) = \mathrm{det}(S)\,\mathrm{det}(R - QS^{-1}P). $$

    .

  5. 5.

    Otherwise, T(s) could be written as strictly proper rational function in which the denominator is a polynomial of degree strictly less than n. This would imply the existence of a realization of dimension strictly less than n, contradicting the minimality of ABC.

  6. 6.

    See [2] and also [3, p. 283].

  7. 7.

    See Theorem A.3 in Appendix A.

  8. 8.

    The negative sign is a consequence of the standing hypothesis (2.15). If \(b(\mu )<0\), the sign must be reversed.

  9. 9.

    See Theorem A.2 in Appendix A.

  10. 10.

    These coefficients can be easily derived as follows. Let

    $$\begin{aligned} A_{01}(\mu ) = \left( \begin{matrix}a_{01,1} &{} a_{01,2} &{} \cdots &{} a_{01,r}\\ \end{matrix}\right) . \end{aligned}$$

    Hence

    $$ A_{01}(\mu )\xi = a_{01,1}\xi _1 + a_{01,2}\xi _2+\cdots + a_{01,r}\xi _r. $$

    Since

    $$\begin{aligned} \xi _r = \theta - (a_0\xi _1 + a_1\xi _2 + \cdots +a_{r-2}\xi _{r-1}) \end{aligned}$$

    we see that

    $$ A_{01}(\mu )\xi = [a_{01,1}-a_{01,r}a_0]\xi _1 + [a_{01,2}-a_{01,r}a_1]\xi _2+\cdots + [a_{01,r-1}-a_{01,r}a_{r-2}]\xi _{r-1} + a_{01,r}\theta $$

    The latter can be rewritten as

    $$ {\tilde{a}}_{01}(\mu )\xi _1+\cdots +{\tilde{a}}_{0,r-1}(\mu )\xi _{r-1} + {\tilde{a}}_{0r}(\mu )\theta . $$

    A similar procedure is followed to transform \(A_{11}(\mu )\xi + a_0\dot{\xi }_1 + \cdots + a_{r-1}\dot{\xi }_{r-1}\).
