A Local Parametrization of the State-Feedback Matrices in the Pole Assignment Problem

Abstract: Given a controllable system $(F,G)$, a local parametrization is obtained for the set of feedback gain matrices $K$ such that the state matrix, $F+GK$, of the closed loop system is in a prescribed similarity class. It is shown that this set can be endowed with the structure of a differentiable manifold whose dimension is also computed. Then a local parametrization and a local system of coordinates is provided using a diffeomorphism between this set of state feedback matrices and the orbit space of a set of truncated observability matrices via de action of a Lie group.
