Description
Book SynopsisIncorporating recent developments in control and systems research,Linear Control Theory provides the fundamental theoreticalbackground needed to fully exploit control system design software.This logically-structured text opens with a detailed treatment ofthe relevant aspects of the state space analysis of linear systems.End-of-chapter problems facilitate the learning process byencouraging the student to put his or her skills into practice.Features include:
* The use of an easy to understand matrix variational technique todevelop the time-invariant quadratic and LQG controllers
* A step-by-step introduction to essential mathematical ideas asthey are needed, motivating the reader to venture beyond basicconcepts
* The examination of linear system theory as it relates to controltheory
* The use of the PBH test to characterize eigenvalues in the statefeedback and observer problems rather than its usual role as a testfor controllability or observability
* The development
Trade Review"...not only covers the essential topics of linear systems...but also covers the other popular control topics such as Linear Quadratic Regulator...will find its use for students interested in advanced control topics." (International Journal of Robust and Linear Control, Vol. 12, 2002)
