Abstract

Given minimal dimension realizations for two linear systems with exogenous and feedback inputs, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions under which the feedback interconnection of these two realizations is itself minimal. The conditions involve poles and zeros of certain transfer function matrices, and are relevant in problems of identification of feedback systems.
