In control theory, we may need to find out whether or not a system such as ˙ = + () = + is controllable, where , , and are, respectively, , , and matrices for a system with inputs, state variables and outputs.
In control theory, a Kalman decomposition provides a mathematical means to convert a representation of any linear time-invariant (LTI) control system to a form in which the system can be decomposed into a standard form which makes clear the observable and controllable components of the system.
Controllability is an important property of a control system and plays a crucial role in many control problems, such as stabilization of unstable systems by feedback, or optimal control. Controllability and observability are dual aspects of the same problem.
The phrase H ∞ control comes from the name of the mathematical space over which the optimization takes place: H ∞ is the Hardy space of matrix-valued functions that are analytic and bounded in the open right-half of the complex plane defined by Re(s) > 0; the H ∞ norm is the supremum singular value of the matrix over that space.
The observability and controllability of a system are mathematical duals (i.e., as controllability provides that an input is available that brings any initial state to any desired final state, observability provides that knowing an output trajectory provides enough information to predict the initial state of the system).
where x is an n × 1 vector of state variables, u is a k × 1 vector of control variables, A is the n × n state transition matrix, B is the n × k matrix of control multipliers, Q (n × n) is a symmetric positive semi-definite state cost matrix, and R (k × k) is a symmetric positive definite control cost matrix.
In control theory, Ackermann's formula provides a method for designing controllers to achieve desired system behavior by directly calculating the feedback gains needed to place the closed-loop system's poles (eigenvalues) [1] at specific locations (pole allocation problem).
Observability is a measure of how well internal states of a system can be inferred from knowledge of its external outputs. In control theory, the observability and controllability of a linear system are mathematical duals.
