Abstract The Roppenecker [11] parameterization of multi-input eigenvalue assignment, which allows for common open- and closed-loop eigenvalues, provides a platform for the investigation of several issues of current interest in robust control. Based on this parameterization, a numerical optimization method for designing a constant gain feedback matrix which assigns the closed-loop eigenvalues to desired locations such that these eigenvalues have low sensitivity to variations in the open-loop state space model was presented in Owens and O'Reilly [8]. In the present paper, two closely related numerical optimization methods are presented. The methods utilize standard (NAG library) unconstrained optimization routines. The first is for designing a minimum gain state feedback matrix which assigns the closed-loop eigenvalues to desired locations, where the measure of gain taken is the Frobenius norm. The second is for designing a state feedback matrix which results in the closed-loop system state matrix having minimum condition number. These algorithms have been shown to give results which are comparable to other available algorithms of far greater conceptual complexity.
