On eigenstructure assignment using block poles placement

In this paper a design process is described to achieve eigenstructure assignment using block poles. Systems described in state space equations are transformed to systems in matrix fractions description and for the latter׳s, eigenvalues are called latent values and eigenvectors are called latent vectors. The method proposed here allows assigning, exactly, the whole set (and even more) of latent values and vectors obtained from a desired eigenstructure using dynamic compensation. The necessary condition is the block-controllablity or block-observability of the system.
