This paper describes how the minimal controller synthesis (MCS) algorithm is combined with the minimal observer synthesis (MOS) algorithm to produce an output feedback control structure in which no prior knowledge of plant state parameters is required. While the principal results relate to single-input single-output (SISO) systems, extensions to a particular class of multi-variable systems is discussed. Implementation and simulation examples are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
