O autorze

Wolfgang Borutzky is a professor for Modelling and Simulation of Engineering Systems retired from Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences, Germany. He obtained his University Diploma Degree in Mathematics and his Doctoral Degree in Mechanical Engineering  both from the Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany.  He held an honorary position as Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the University of Dubrovnik, Croatia. Dr. Borutzky has published in the proceedings of many peer-reviewed international conferences on Modelling and Simulation and in refereed scientific journals. In 2019 he received the best paper award of the 12th International Conference on Integrated Modelling and Analysis in Applied Control and Automation (IMAACA 2019) in Lisbon, Portugal, which is part of the annual International Multidisciplinary Modelling & Simulation Multiconference (I3M). He is the author of a 2010 Springer monograph on Bond Graph Methodology,  of a 2015 Springer book on Bond Graph model-based fault diagnosis in hybrid systems and a 2020 Springer book titled Bond Graph Modelling for Control, Fault Diagnosis and Failure Prognosis. He is also the editor and a co-author of a 2011 Springer compilation text on Bond Graph Modelling of Engineering Systems and of a 2016 Springer compilation text entitled Bond Graphs for Modelling, Control and Fault Diagnosis with contributions from experts in various fields from all over the world. Furthermore, he was the guest editor of two special journal issues on bond graph modelling.

This textbook presents an in-depth introductory survey of several fundamental advanced control concepts and techniques all ranging from modern ideas. The book emphasizes ideas, an understanding of key concepts, methodologies, and results. In line with this, the book addresses master’s students in the overlap of engineering and computer science as well as engineers working in various application fields and interested in useful control techniques and less in system theories appealing from a mathematical point of view. The book aims to show what methods and results learned for single-variable systems are also applicable to multivariable systems, what is different and why. The structured text covers a broad spectrum of topics from decentralized control to the use of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Methods and results are illustrated by many examples and using free, open source mathematical software, predominately GNU Octave. In some cases, the free mathematical software package Scilab is also used. The book features exercises and examples throughout.

• Presents an introductory survey of fundamental advanced control concepts and techniques ranging from classical to more modern ones;
• Describes which techniques in single-variable control can be adopted in multivariable control and addresses modern control techniques such as LMIs;
• Features exercises, examples, and GNU Octave script listings;
• Provides relevant freely available lecture notes collected from the internet and an appendix with references for further reading.
