ABSTRACT

As stated at the beginning of Chap. 6, Step 2 of Algorithm 5.3 revealed the remaining freedom of (4.1). The first application of using this freedom is to realize the robustness properties of state feedback control, and is presented in Chap. 6. The second application of using this freedom is to minimize the observer order, and is presented in this chapter. The objectives of these two applications are very different.
