A connection between normalized coprime factorizations and linear quadratic regulator theory
D.G. Meyer, G.F. Franklin · IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control · 1987
Given a transfer matrix described by a minimal state-space triple, a method is given for computing state-space realizations for the numerator and denominator of a normalized, stable, right coprime factorization for the transfer matrix. The method involves the solution of an algebraic Riccati equation. It allows the use of existing computational state-space algorithms in finding normalized stable right coprime factorizations, and avoids explicit calculations of spectral factors.
