The problem of an infinite eigenvalue assignment by an output feedback is considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution are established. A procedure for the computation of the output-feedback gain matrix is given and illustrated with a numerical example.
It is well–known that every system with commensurable delays can be assigned a finite spectrum by feedback, provided that it is spectrally controllable. In general, the feedback involves distributed delays, and it is defined in terms of a Volterra equation. In the case of multivariable time–delay systems, one would be interested in assigning not only the location of the poles of the closed–loop system, but also their multiplicities, or, equivalently, the invariant factors of the closed–loop system....
