Abstract
Linear systems of the form E\dot{x} = Ax + Bu with E singular are treated. It is desired to find a control which drives the system asymptotically to the origin, minimizing a quadratic cost functional. No restrictions are placed on initial conditions. The cost associated with the impulsive behavior of the system is examined as well as existence and uniqueness of the optimal control. Through a sequence of coordinate transformations it is proven that the optimal control can be found by solving a reduced order Riccati equation.

The linear-quadratic optimal regulator for descriptor systems

TL;DR: This paper solves a general finite-horizon problem by applying the calculus of variations to derive the optimal trajectory of the vector consisting of the concatenated descriptor, codescriptor, and control vectors, and calculates the optimal feedback gain relating the control and descriptor variable.

Solvability, controllability, and observability of continuous descriptor systems

Structural properties of linear dynamical systems

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that infinite decoupling zeros can be defined, and these induce a fourfold decomposition, of that part of the system giving rise to the polynomial port of the transfer function matrix, analogous to Kalman'B canonical decomposition.
