Numerical Linear Algebra Techniques for Systems and Control

A reprint collection of practical papers covering the broad scope of numerical linear algebra in computer-aided control system design software. Between the 35-page introduction and extensive 21-page bibliography, are seven sections: general numerical issues in control; controllability, observability, and realizations; "closeness" problems; frequency response, transfer functions, poles, and zeros; pole assignment and observer design; Riccati, Lyapunov, and Sylvester equations; and some relevant results from numerical linear algebra.
