Static output feedback - A survey

This paper reviews the static output feedback problem in the control of linear, time-invariant (LTI) systems. It includes analytical and computational methods and presents in a unified fashion, the knowledge gained in the decades of research into this important open problem. The paper shows that although many approaches and techniques exist to approach different versions of the problem, no efficient algorithmic solutions are available.
