1. A method comprising: determining a set of solutions for an output feedback pole placement problem based on parameters of a physical system, the solutions being stable and well-conditioned to permit changes to the parameters of the physical system to be monitored; adjusting the physical system based on the solutions determined; acquiring updated parameters of the physical system; determining a set of updated solutions for the output feedback pole placement problem based on the updated parameters of the physical system; and, performing at least one of: adjusting the physical system based on the updated solutions determined; notifying system manager of updated solutions or updated parameters; monitoring changes in the physical system based on the updated solutions determined; and, detecting potentially critical changes in the physical system based on the updated solutions determined.
