Abstract

One of the most widely used input and output controllability measure is relative gain array (RGA). RGA measures input-output interaction in multi input multi output (MIMO) systems. The other significant measure in use is the smallest singular value of frequency subordinate. The condition number is defined as the ratio between the largest and smallest singular values of a system. In this paper, the relationship of relative gain array (RGA) with condition number and interaction as well as condition number in relation to interaction will be investigated respectively. The results indicate that the parameters under investigation are not always correlated, that is, the two-way relationship is not established between them all the time.
