This monograph presents our recent results on the proportional-integr- derivative (PID) controller and its design, analysis, and synthesis. The fo cus is on linear time-invariant plants that may contain a time delay in the feedback loop. This setting captures many real-world practical and in dustrial situations. The results given here include and complement those published in Structure and Synthesis of PID Controllers by Datta, Ho, and Bhattacharyya 10]. In 10] we mainly dealt with the delay-free case. The main contribution described here is the efficient computation of the entire set of...

Studying large sets of genes and their collective function requires tools that can easily handle huge amounts of information. Recent research indicates that engineering approaches for prediction, signal processing, and control are well suited for studying multivariate interactions. A tutorial guide to the current engineering research in genomics, Introduction to Genomic Signal Processing with Control provides a state-of-the-art account of the use of control theory to obtain intervention strategies for gene regulatory networks.
The book builds up the necessary molecular biology background...

Covers three major areas of control engineering (PID control, robust control, and optimal control). This book covers elegant mathematical theory and useful engineering-oriented results. It develops results relating to the design of PID and first-order controllers for continuous and discrete-time linear systems with possible delays.

Written in a self-contained tutorial fashion, this monograph successfully brings the latest theoretical advances in the design of robust adaptive systems to the realm of industrial applications. It provides a theoretical basis for verifying some of the reported industrial successes of existing adaptive control schemes and enables readers to synthesize adaptive versions of their own robust internal model control schemes.
