Abstract: The problem of Exact Model Matching (EMM) for general left invertible neutral multidelay systems, via proportional realisable state and output feedback, is extensively solved. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the problem to have a realisable solution are established. The general analytical expression of the controllers, solving the problem, is derived. The present results are rather useful to adaptive control of distributed industrial processes described by neutral time delay models.

Keywords: neutral time-delay systems; multivariable processes; distributed systems; state feedback; output feedback; exact model matching; EMM; right bi-realisable unitarising transformation; feedback control.
