A matrix treatment of eigenstructure assignment theory as applied to the
generalized linear time invariant system is presented. New geometrical interpretations
of the constraints on selecting desired closed loop right and left eigenvectors as
functions of the open loop system parameters are then shown to give qualitative
measures on the computational complexity of selecting the vectors. Numerical
optimization schemes are then presented which satisfy these geometric interpretations
for subsequent encoding of an interactive eigenstructure synthesis program, EI GENS.
Robust decoupling controllers are then synthesized via EIGENS. A new theoretical
application of eigenstructure assignment to reconfiguring damaged digital flight
controllers is then presented. The thesis concludes with reconfigured solution
demonstrations as applied to the FA- IS aircraft.
