A pole assignment technique for multivariable systems with input delay

The pole assignment method for non-delay multivariable systems has received a great deal of attention for designing feedback controllers to achieve desired objectives [1], [2]. Suh and Bien [3] have considered a root locus technique for linear systems with time-delay. Here is an attempt to present a pole assignment method for multi-input systems with input delay. The single-input system with delay is first considered and the results are then extended to multi-input system using unity-rank state feedback matrices.
