Extract

During the past decade, the theory of optimal control associated with linear multivariable systems having state and output equations of the respective forms

and

has been applied extensively to the design of controllers for a variety of aerospace systems. Such applications of this theory have been mainly concerned with the design of controllers that generate optimal control vectors, ẑ, which minimise performance indices of the form.

where Q and R are positive-definite matrices.
