Robust fault detection filter design

In practical fault detection filter applications, reliable fault isolation takes place only when the detection space structure is insensitive to parameter variations. A left eigenvector assignment approach is developed which allows for the application of existing results relating supremal controllability subspaces and ill-conditioned eigenvectors. Modifications which yield improved eigenvector conditioning are applied to an aircraft accelerometer fault detection filter.
