Abstract

The existence of state-feedback controllers that eliminate the effects of infinite cycles on asynchronous sequential machines is considered. The main objective is to develop controllers that stop infinite cycles in an existing machine, while controlling the machine to match a prescribed model. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such controllers are stated in terms of a simple test applied to a certain numerical matrix.
