Software for static output feedback pole placement

RELEASED: Jun 2007.
DOWNLOAD: pole placement files.

The above link contains a MATLAB based implementation of the algorithms described in

• K. Yang and R. Orsi.
  Static output feedback pole placement via a trust region approach.
  To appear in IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control. PDF.

Notes (see the paper for further details):

• The algorithms are not guaranteed to always find a solution (though they are often successful).
• The only restriction on problem data is that the desired poles must be distinct. (Even a small separation in the desired poles should be sufficient.)
• The download includes the data for the particular problems considered in our paper.

Feedback is very welcome and should be sent to robert.orsi@anu.edu.au

The above algorithms use a cost function based on the eigenvalues of the closed loop system matrix. An alternative is to use a cost based on the characteristic polynomial. For a brief discussion of this approach, see PDF. A MATLAB based implementation of this algorithm is available for download: pole placement files (alternate approach).
