Properties of linear time-invariant multivariable systems subject to arbitrary output and state feedback
Abstract
It is shown that, for any linear time-invariant multivariable system which is both completely controllable and completely observable, almost all output feedback laws can be used to make the closed-loop system have distinct poles; i.e., the set of output feedback laws which fails to achieve this goal is either an empty set or a hypersurface in the parameter space. It is also shown that almost any output feedback law will make the closed-loop system's poles be disjoint from any given finite set of points on the complex plane. It is then shown that any controllable observable system can be made controllable and observable with respect to any nontrivial input and output by applying almost all output feedback laws about the original system. These results have immediate application in pole assignment, in the controllability of parallel-connected systems, and in the identification problem. In addition, it is shown that, for any linear system and for almost all state feedback laws, the closed-loop system has the property that all modes of the system, except possibly those corresponding to the uncontrollable-unobservable part of the system, are observed in the output.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
