    Abstract

    In the classical theory of finite-dimensional linear time-invariant systems in state space form the term deterministic separation principle refers to the observation that a stabilizing output feedback controller can be constructed by first constructing an asymptotic state observer that is then coupled to a stabilizing state feedback controller. In this paper we discuss the following converse problem: Can every stabilizing output feedback controller be realized as interconnection of an asymptotic state observer and a stabilizing state feedback controller? We will provide an affirmative answer to this question (modulo a number of technicalities) in a behavioral setting and with the help of rational representations.
