DESIGN OF MULTIVARIABLE FEEDBACK CONTROLLERS: ITALIC-L(1)-OPTIMAL SYSTEMS
This thesis treats the following problem: Given a multivariable linear time-invariant plant, we want to design a feedback controller in such a way that the closed loop system is internally stable and the output tracks an arbitrary set of bounded and persistent inputs for all time. This problem is …
