In this document, the use of the Jacobian matrix and the Singular Value Decomposition to render a physical plant diagonal dominant is studied.
Then, a diagonal controller is used.

These two methods are tested on two plants:

</p>
<p>
Consider the control architecture shown in Figure <a href="#org38ba9bc">4</a>.
</p>
<p>
The Jacobian matrix \(J_{\tau}\) is used to transform forces applied by the three actuators into forces/torques applied on the gravimeter at its center of mass:
</p>
\begin{equation}
\begin{bmatrix} \tau_1 \\ \tau_2 \\ \tau_3 \end{bmatrix} = J_{\tau}^{-T} \begin{bmatrix} F_x \\ F_z \\ M_y \end{bmatrix}
\end{equation}
<p>
The Jacobian matrix \(J_{a}\) is used to compute the vertical acceleration, horizontal acceleration and rotational acceleration of the mass with respect to its center of mass:
</p>
\begin{equation}
\begin{bmatrix} a_x \\ a_z \\ a_{R_y} \end{bmatrix} = J_{a}^{-1} \begin{bmatrix} a_{x1} \\ a_{z1} \\ a_{x2} \\ a_{z2} \end{bmatrix}
\end{equation}
<p>
We thus define a new plant as defined in Figure <a href="#org38ba9bc">4</a>.
\[ \bm{G}_x(s) = J_a^{-1} \bm{G}(s) J_{\tau}^{-T} \]
</p>
<p>
\(\bm{G}_x(s)\) correspond to the $3 &times; 3$transfer function matrix from forces and torques applied to the gravimeter at its center of mass to the absolute acceleration of the gravimeter&rsquo;s center of mass (Figure <a href="#org38ba9bc">4</a>).

In order to decouple the plant using the SVD, first a real approximation of the plant transfer function matrix as the crossover frequency is required.
</p>
<p>
Let&rsquo;s compute a real approximation of the complex matrix \(H_1\) which corresponds to the the transfer function \(G(j\omega_c)\) from forces applied by the actuators to the measured acceleration of the top platform evaluated at the frequency \(\omega_c\).
