Abstract

The foundations of linear time-invariant control are re-examined via a new geometric paradigm, gain plots. These plots depict eigenvalue trajectory as an explicit function of gain. Various classical control concepts are generalized in nine theorems and demonstrated in three simple, yet pedagogical, examples.
