Abstract: Conditions under which eigenvectors of linear multivariable systems can be arbitrarily assigned using state feedback are derived. A procedure for obtaining the required feedback gain matrix is ...

Abstract: Considered in this paper is the robust stability of a class of systems in which a relevant characteristic equation is a family of polynomials F: f(s, q) = a0 (q) + a1 (q )s + [[ellipsis]] ...

Abstract: The dynamic response of a two-degree-of-freedom impacting system is considered. The system consists of an inverted pendulum with motion limiting stops attached to a sinusoidally excited mass-spring ...
