TL;DR: In this article, the sensitivity specification is formulated in terms of bounds on the acceptable value of the loop transfer function L(s=σ+jω) on the imaginary axis jω, for each ω.
Abstract: In the single-loop, linear, time-invariant feedback control system with parameter ignorance and/or unwanted disturbances, the sensitivity specification may be formulated in terms of bounds on the acceptable value of the loop transfer function L(s=σ+jω) on the imaginary axis jω, for each ω. Due to the ever-present noise in the feedback return path, it is highly important to satisfy these bounds with an L(jω) whose magnitude is as small as possible at large id. Such an optimum exists, is unique and lies on the associated boundary at each value of ω
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that p closed loop poles of a linear time invariant multivariable system can be assigned arbitrarily using constant gain output feedback provided (A circumflex, B circumflex) is controllable and observable.
Abstract: Given a linear time invariant multivariable system with m inputs and p outputs, it was shown that p closed loop poles of the system can be preassigned arbitrarily using constant gain output feedback provided (A circumflex, B circumflex) is controllable. These data show that if (A circumflex, B circumflex, C circumflex) is controllable and observable, and Rank B circumflex = m, Rank C circumflex = p, then max (m,p) poles of the system can be assigned arbitarily using constant gain output feedback. Further, it is shown that in some cases more than max (m,p) poles can be arbitrarily assigned. A least square design technique is outlined to approximate the desired pole locations when it is not possible to place all the poles.
TL;DR: An algorithm, based on recent papers by Davison and Chatterjee, is given which allows pole assignment to be carried out on large linear time-invariant multivariable systems with output feedback.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a systematic procedure for designing optimal feedback control systems with the poles restricted either to the left of the line Re(s) =−α or in a cone tan−1{Im(s)/Re(s)} =±θ.
Abstract: The paper presents a systematic procedure for designing optimal feedback control systems with the poles restricted either to the left of the line Re(s) =−α or in a cone tan−1{Im(s)/Re(s)} =±θ. Simple transformations of the complex variable s are utilised to find a characteristic polynomial for the desired closed-loop system. It is then shown that this polynomial can be used with the frequency-domain optimality condition and the observability condition to find a proper quadratic index. It is also shown that it may be necessary to include a product of the control variable and the state variable in the quadratic index so that arbitrary pole placement may be possible.
TL;DR: In this article, the density-density correlation function of He II bounded by solid walls is calculated in the hydrodynamic region and the migration of its poles as a function of the resistance parameter is investigated, and it is found that the fourth sound pole can only be related to the first sound pole far enough from the critical temperature.
Abstract: The density-density correlation function of He II bounded by solid walls is calculated in the hydrodynamic region. The migration of its poles as a function of the resistance parameter is investigated, and it is found that the fourth-sound pole can only be related to the first-sound pole far enough (ϱs0/ϱ0>1/9) from the critical temperature. Otherwise, it arises from a mixture of the first- and second-sound poles. The contributions of poles to the sum rules are also discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the differential property of the network's main operational amplifier is utilized to introduce new terms in the numerator of the transfer function without affecting the denominator sensitivity, which can be used to realize a low-pass non-minimnm-phage delay function and a high-pass filter.
Abstract: The transfer function zeros of certain low-sensitivity multi-loop negative feedback active networks are restricted to the left half of the S plane. A technique is described here which eliminates this restriction without affecting the low-sensitivity of the poles. The differential property of the network's main operational amplifier is utilized to introduce new terms in the numerator of the transfer function without affecting the denominator sensitivity. Networks capable of realizing second and third-order functions are derived. Some of the resulting networks were used to realize a low-pass non-minimnm-phage delay function and a high-pass filter and experimental results are included.
