Linear State Feedback

Encyclopedia of Systems and Control

Abstract

Feedback is a fundamental mechanism in nature and central in the control of systems. The state contains important system information, and applying a control law that uses state information is a very powerful control policy. To illustrate the effect of feedback in linear systems, continuous-time and discrete-time state variable descriptions are used: these allow one to write explicitly the resulting closed-loop descriptions and to study the effect of feedback on the eigenvalues of the closed-loop system. The eigenvalue assignment problem is also discussed.
