Abstract

In this chapter, we first present a general algorithm for a two-stage feedback controller design for linear continuous-time, time-invariant, dynamic systems following the results of Radisavljevic-Gajic and Rose (2014), Sect. 2.1. The proposed design significantly reduces the computational requirements and provides flexibility of designing different types of controllers for different dynamic parts of the system – subsystems that form the given system.
