This paper aims to improve the transient response of a linear regulator system by optimizing the feedback gains associated with a fixed set of desirable eigenvalues of the closed-loop system. The optimal feedback gain is such that the Frobenius norm of the steady state of the compensator is minimized. Computer simulation shows that this scheme is effective in improving the transient response of the regulator system.
