On regularizing singular systems by decentralized output feedback
This paper considers linear time-invariant decentralized singular systems which are either nonregular or, if they are regular, they have impulsive modes. It derives algebraic necessary and sufficient conditions for making a singular system both regular and impulse-free by decentralized output feedback control laws and decentralized proportional-plus-derivative output feedback control laws.
