Input-output properties of feedback systems based on linear time invariate systems
A procedure using transfer function formalism for stabilizing a multivariable feedback system with significant plant uncertainty is presented. The method shapes nominal loop functions and decreases their magnitudes with frequency in such a manner that the system remains stable throughout the plant uncertainty range. An example illustrates the application of the described procedure.
Design of multivariable systems is considered and design procedures are formulated in the light of the most recent work on model matching. The word model matching is used exclusively to mean matching the input-output behavior of two systems. The term is used in the frequency domain to indicate the comparison of two transfer matrices containing transfer functions as elements. Design methods where non-interaction is not used as a criteria were studied. Two design methods are considered. The first method of design is based solely upon the specification of generalized error coefficients for each individual transfer function of the overall system transfer matrix. The second design method is called the pole fixing method because all the system poles are fixed at preassigned positions. The zeros of terms either above or below the diagonal are partially fixed via steady state error coefficients. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed and an example is worked to demonstrate their uses. The special cases of triangular decoupling and minimum constraints are discussed.

The stability is considered of the solution differential-difference equations of the retarded type with constant coefficients and two constant time delays. A method that makes use of analytical expressions to determine stability boundaries, and the stability of the system, is derived. The method was applied to a system represented by a second-order differential equation with constant coefficients and time delays in the velocity and displacement terms. The results obtained is in agreement with those obtained by other investigators.
Numerous models of physical systems contain parameters whose values are not known exactly. The physical and mathematical complexities arising in the prediction of the statistical behavior of such systems are discussed. Although the discussions are far from providing a satisfactory solution to such problems, they perhaps, by utilization of simple examples, will create a greater awareness of the statistical effect of random parameters.
A method is developed to determine the effect of coefficient changes on the stability of a retarded system with constant time delays. The method, which uses the tau-decomposition method of stability analysis, is demonstrated by an example.

It is demonstrated that use of the square root information filter (SRIF) can reduce the storage and computation required for estimation of certain classes of large-scale interconnected systems. The SRIF uses an information array that is related to the Kalman filter covariance and estimate. The SRIF algorithm, which is optimal, is a direct application of matrix partitioning to some optimal filtering algorithms described in the literature. The SRIF algorithm is able to reduce the storage requirements of a 40-subsystem 10-state problem by a full order of magnitude.
