Dampening controllers via a Riccati equation approach

An algorithm is presented which computes a state feedback for a standard linear system which not only stabilizes, but also dampens the closed-loop system dynamics. In other words, a feedback gain vector is computed such that the eigenvalues of the closed-loop state matrix are within the region of the left half-plane where the magnitude of the real part of each eigenvalue is greater than the imaginary part. This may be accomplished by solving one periodic algebraic Riccati equation and one degenerate Riccati equation. The solution to these equations are computed using numerically robust algorithms. Finally, the periodic Riccati equation is unusual in that it produces one symmetric and one skew symmetric solution, and as a result two different state feedbacks. Both feedbacks dampen the system dynamics, but produce different closed-loop eigenvalues, giving the controller designer greater freedom in choosing a desired feedback.
