Abstract :
For a linear multivariable plant, it is known from earlier work that the easy computable pole vectors provide useful information about in which input channel (actuator) a given mode is controllable and in which output channel (sensor) it is observable. In this note, we provide a rigorous theoretical basis for the use of pole vectors, by providing a link to previous results on performance limitations for unstable plants.
