Harmonic Pole Placement (2203.09140v2)

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a method to design state feedback harmonic control laws that assign the closed loop poles of a linear harmonic model to some desired locations. The procedure is based on the solution of an infinite-dimensional harmonic Sylvester equation under an invertibility constraint. We provide a sufficient condition to ensure this invertibility and show how this infinite-dimensional Sylvester equation can be solved up to an arbitrary small error. The results are illustrated on an unstable linear periodic system. We also provide a counterexample to illustrate the fact that, unlike the classical finite dimensional case, the solution of the Sylvester equation may not be invertible in the infinite dimensional case even if an observability condition is satisfied.
