A Numerical Approach to Pole Assignment by Output Feedback

In this paper a general framework for pole assignment algorithms is described. Most of the well known output feedback pole assignment algorithms formulated in a state-space context (observers, Brasch-Pearson and Kimura's approaches) reduce to less than three steps of this framework. It is possible by using some more steps to exhibit more performing algorithms. Justifications of the technical results arising from the current work have already been published, only the practical implementation aspects of this framework are discussed here. It is shown that only a few basic routines are required for numerical implementation.
