ABSTRACT
Step 2 of Algorithm 5.3 revealed the remaining freedom of (4.1). This freedom will be fully used for the various design applications listed at the end of Chap. 5.
This chapter describes the first of such applications-observer design for the guaranteed full realization of the robustness properties of state feedback control. Failure to realize the robustness properties of this control is perhaps the drawback that has limited the practical applications of state space control theory. This chapter will demonstrate for the first time, that with the full use of the remaining freedom of (4.1), this drawback can be effectively overcome for most open loop system conditions.
