Feedback invariants of restrictions - a polynomial approach
The possible feedback invariants of a linear time-invariant dynamical system, represented by a pair of matrices (A, B): are studied when the only information about the system is that it has an (A, B)-invariant subspace, Y, whose restriction is an autonomous system and the quotient is controllable. This problem is shown to be related to the problem of designing a control matrix B-1 for a series connected system to have prescribed feedback invariants.
