Abstract :
We propose an algorithm for solving the Sylvester-observer equation arising in the construction of the Luenberger observer. The algorithm is a block-generalization of P. Van Dooren´s (1981) scalar algorithm. It is more efficient than Van Dooren´s algorithm and the recent block algorithm by B.N. Datta and D. Sarkissian (2000). Furthermore, the algorithm is well-suited for implementation on some of today´s powerful high performance computers using the high-quality software package LAPACK
