A treatment of jw-axis model-matching transformation zeros in the optimal H/sup 2/ and H/sup infinity / control designs

A model-matching transformation (MMT) zero is defined as a rank-deficiency condition which prevents an H/sup 2/ or H/sup infinity / optimal control problem from being transformed into an equivalent model-matching problem. By imposing saturation constraints and accounting for additive instrument noise in the sensor and actuator signals, all MMT zeros can be eliminated. >
