Abstract:

The fundamental system-theoretic research and the parallel development of design techniques which have lead to the production of the comprehensive software package EIGENFORTRAC are outlined. The capability of EIGENFORTRAC in relation to the computer-aided design of high-performance digital control systems whose functions are simultaneously to reject the unmeasurable disturbances and to track multiple command inputs is described. Numerous references are provided to the system-theoretic research and to the computer algorithms embodied in EIGENFORTRAC. Author
