2.4 Historical notes and references

  • The general structure theorem 2.1.1 is due to R.E. Kalman, Canonical structure of linear dynamical systems. Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.), 48, pp. 596–600, 1962, and L. Weiss and R.E. Kalman, Contributions to linear system theory, Int. J. Engr. Sci., 3, pp 141–171. 1965. The canonical form given in Theorem 2.1.2 is one of several for completely controllable systems given by D.G. Luenberger, Canonical Forms for linear multi-variable systems. IEEE Trans. Aut. Control AC-12, pp 290–293 (1967). See also the recent survey articles

  • For single-input systems J.E. Betram in 1959 first proved that complete controllability implies that closed loop-poles can be freely positioned. For r > 1 the result is due to W.M. Wonham. On pole assignment in multi-input controllable linear systems. IEEE Trans. Aut. Control. AC-12, pp 660–665, (1967). The proof given here, based upon Luenberger's canonical form, is due to M. Heymann, Comments on ‘On pole assignment in multi-input controllable linear systems.’ IEEE Trans Aut. Control, AC-13, p 748, (1968).

Military Electronics, MIL-8, pp 74–80, 1964, and Observers for multivariable systems. IEEE Trans. Aut. Control, AC-11, pp 190–197, 1966. See also his paper: An introduction to observers, IEEE Trans. Aut. Control, AC-16, pp 596–602, 1971.
