Opis

The book blends readability and accessibility common to undergraduate control systems texts with the mathematical rigor necessary to form a solid theoretical foundation. Appendices cover linear algebra and provide a Matlab overivew and files. The reviewers pointed out that this is an ambitious project but one that will pay off because of the lack of good up-to-date textbooks in the area.

Master the theory and practice of linear state–space control systems design

With a strong emphasis on practical aspects, here is a comprehensive introduction to state–space methods for the analysis and design of linear control systems, ideal for practicing engineers and researchers as well as students preparing for advanced study in systems and control theory.

Beginning with a concise introduction to state–space methods, Linear State–Space Control Systems provides readers with a solid foundation in linear systems and control theory, all grounded in the real world by examples and exercises taken from practical applications. A strength of the text is its rigorous mathematical treatment of the fundamental concepts and theoretical results, supported by a chapter–by–chapter tutorial on the use of the popular software package MATLAB and the associated Control Systems Toolbox for computer–aided control system analysis and design.

Chapters discuss:

• State–space fundamentals
• Controllability
• Observability
• Minimal Realizations
• Stability
• The design of linear state feedback control laws
• Observers and observer–based feedback control laws
• Optimal control

Highly readable and accessible, this unique combination of control theory and practical applications will bring both students (advanced undergraduates and graduate students) and practicing professionals up to speed on a field that is seeing growing importance in engineering today.
