Comments on 'Luenberger's canonical form revisited'

Results similar to those presented in the paper entitled 'Canonical forms for linear multivariable systems' by Luenberger (1967) have previously been developed for a slightly different version of Luenberger's canonical form. These results are summarized herein to provide an alternate canonical form that can be used for system identification. For certain applications, such as observer design, the canonical form presented is particularly well suited. Both canonical forms provide the same number of undefined parameters.
