An essential core text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in digital control, this volume develops theoretical foundations and explains how control systems work in real industrial situations. Several case histories assist students in visualizing the theory's applications.
After a careful development of theoretical foundations, the text moves into the real world with detailed reviews of five commercially available distributed control systems. Throughout, the author emphasizes robustness, realistic adaptive control, and the successful application of digital control theory to...

Functional analysis provides a concise conceptual framework for linear control theory. This self-contained text, geared toward engineering students, demonstrates the subject's unity. It features a wide range of powerful theorems that illustrate inner product spaces, instability, controllability, and observability. It also discusses minimum norm and time control as well as distributed systems.
The first chapter offers a brief survey of basic mathematics, followed by chapters that contain most of the mathematics needed later in the book. Subsequent chapters establish axioms for linear...
