A line-of-sight performance criterion for controller design of a proposed laboratory model
A line-of-sight performance criterion is derived for a proposed Controls Structures Interaction model, and its many uses in the control design process for fine pointing control are illustrated. A linearized line-of-sight (LOS) criterion is used for direct controller design and as a performance measure to judge different control methodologies. Numerical simulation results are shown where the three approaches: linear quadratic Gaussian theory, robust eigensystem assignment, and local velocity feedback are used for vibration control. Results indicate that the linear quadratic Gaussian controller, which incorporates a linearized LOS weighting matrix directly, yields good performance without wasting energy to control motions that have no influence on the LOS.

Eigenvector derivatives of repeated eigenvalues using singular value decomposition
An explicit formula is obtained for the first-order eigenvector derivative that corresponds to the eigenvector of a repeated eigenvalue, in the case of the nonself-adjoint eigenvalue problem. This method applies to the class of nondefective problems whose first eigenvalue derivatives of the repeated eigenvalues are distinct. A singular-value decomposition approach is used to compute four requisite bases for eigenspaces, as well as to keep track of the dimensions of state variables and the conditioning of the state equations.

On eigensystem assignment with output feedback
A new approach for the eigenvalue assignment of linear, first-order, time-invariant systems using output feedback is developed. The approach can assign the maximum allowable number of closed-loop eigenvalues through output feedback provided that the system is fully controllable and observable, and both the input influence and output influence matrices are full rank. First, a collection of bases for the space of attainable closed-loop eigenvectors is generated using the Singular Value Decomposition or QR Decomposition techniques. Then, an algorithm based on subspace intersections is developed and used to compute the corresponding coefficients of the bases, and the required output feedback gain matrix. Moreover, the additional freedom provided by the multi-inputs and multi-outputs beyond the eigenvalue assignment is characterized for possible exploitation. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the viability of the proposed approach.

Structural robustness with suboptimal responses for linear state space model
A relationship between the closed-loop eigenvalues and the amount of perturbations in the open-loop matrix is addressed in the context of performance robustness. If the allowable perturbation ranges of elements of the open-loop matrix A and the desired tolerance of the closed-loop eigenvalues are given such that max(j) of the absolute value of Delta-lambda(j) (A+BF) should be less than some prescribed value, what is a state feedback controller F which satisfies the closed-loop eigenvalue perturbation-tolerance requirement for a class of given perturbation in A? The paper gives an algorithm to design such a controller. Numerical examples are included for illustration.

On the eigenvalue and eigenvector derivatives of a general matrix
The existence of differentiable eigenvalues and eigenvectors for a general matrix is addressed. The eigenspace which contains differentiable eigenvectors is determined and computed by using the concept of subspace intersection in conjunction with the singular value decomposition algorithm. The differentiable eigenvectors associated with repeated eigenvalues should be simultaneously the eigenvectors of the general matrix and its corresponding sensitivity matrix. Furthermore, the derivatives for differentiable eigenvectors associated with repeated eigenvalues can be computed using higher order derivatives of the matrix, whereas the corresponding eigenvalue derivatives are the eigenvalues of the sensitivity matrix.

Robust eigensystem assignment for flexible structures
An improved method is developed for eigenvalues and eigenvectors placement of a closed-loop control system using either state or output feedback. The method basically consists of three steps. First, the singular value of QR decomposition is used to generate an orthonormal basis that spans admissible eigenvector space corresponding to each assigned eigenvalue. Secondly, given a unitary matrix, the eigenvector set which best approximates the given matrix in the least-square sense and still satisfy eigenvalue cosntraints is determined. Thirdly, a unitary matrix is sought to minimize the error between the unitary matrix and the assignable eigenvector matrix. For use as the desired eigenvector set, two matrices, namely, the open-loop eigenvector matrix and its closest unitary matrix are proposed. The latter matrix generally encourages both minimum conditioning and control gains. In addition, the algorithm is formulated in real arithmetic for efficient implementation. To illustrate the basic concepts, numerical examples are included.
