Practical Considerations for Noninteracting Control Synthesis.

Abstract

The research was concerned with the practical problems of achieving noninteracting control (decoupling). This problem involves finding a feedback controller so that each input of a system affects one and only one output of the closed-loop system and maintains this behavior even in the presence of small modelling errors. This research then led to the investigation of the problem of determining the freedom in assigning eigenstructures when the closed-loop system has repeated eigenvalues. The research results for the problem of noninteracting control has led to a characterization of the closed-loop eignestructure of decoupled systems. The results of the investigation of the second problem has led to a complete characterization and better understanding of the minimum time control of discrete time systems, better known as deadbeat control systems. Originator-supplied keywords include: Decoupling control, Eigenstructure assignment, Deadbeat control.
