Description
Summary:A systematic approach is developed for the design of linear multivariable feedback control systems based on a manipulation of the set of frequency-conscious eigenvalues and eigenvectors of an open-loop transfer-function matrix. The key idea behind the approach used is that of an approximately-commutative controller. An algorithm for approximation of a frame of complex vectors by a frame of real vectors is developed and plays a basic role in the systematic design approach. An example, based on industrial plant data, is given showing how the design method is used.
