Abstract:
A simple derivation methodology for optimization of linear quadratic controllers is presented, in the discrete time polynomial systems framework. A control law variation, regarded as a potential feedforward from the innovations, is used. Orthogonality is evaluated in the frequency domain, by collectively cancelling unstable poles by zeros.

The suggested method, summarized as a three-step scheme, is exemplified on a disturbance measurement feedforward and a multivariable LQG output feedback problem. It is a simple and more direct alternative to the ``completing the squares'' approach.
