Linear quadratic regulators with eigenvalue placement in a specified region
A linear optimal quadratic regulator is developed for optimally placing the closed-loop poles of multivariable continuous-time systems within the common region of an open sector, bounded by lines inclined at + or - pi/2k (k = 2 or 3) from the negative real axis with a sector angle of pi/2 or less, and the left-hand side of a line parallel to the imaginary axis in the complex s-plane. The design method is mainly based on the solution of a linear matrix Liapunov equation, and the resultant closed-loop system with its eigenvalues in the desired region is optimal with respect to a quadratic performance index.
