Deadbeat control of single-input, single-output, linear, time-invariant systems

Sufficient conditions and an algorithm for deadbeat control of single-input, single-output, linear, time-invariant systems are presented. This algorithm allows us to find a feedback gain matrix k and control input u such that the output y of the closed-loop system is identical with reference input r(t) for t ≥ nT, where T is the given sampling period,' n is the order of the system and r(l) represents a class of functions which can be generated in linear, time-invariant systems. The design algorithm is illustrated by two numerical examples.
