Abstract:
In this thesisppole assignment problem, one of the most commonly used control schemes, is considered and special emphasis is given on the application of avaliable pole assignment algorithms in multi-input systems. A very convenient method, proven first by Ackermann, for determining the required feedback gains for arbitrary pole assignment in single-input systems, is generalized to include the multivariable systems as well, using a unity rank feedback matrix. The multivariable system is first converted into an "equivalent" single-input system and Ackermann's procedure is subsequently applied. Furthermore the relationship between various model following control schemes and pole assignment problem is discussed in detail.
