Summary

A graduate text providing broad coverage of linear multivariable control systems, including several new results and recent approaches.

Description

This rigorous yet accessible textbook provides broad and systematic coverage of linear multivariable control systems, including several new approaches to design. In addition to standard state space theory, it provides a new measurement-based approach to linear systems, including a generalization of Thevenin's Theorem, a new single-input single-output approach to multivariable control, and analytical design of PID controllers developed by the authors. Each result is rigorously proved and combined with specific control systems applications, such as the servomechanism problem, the fragility of high order controllers, multivariable control, and PID controllers. Illustrative examples solved using MATLAB and SIMULINK, with easily reusable programming scripts, are included throughout. Numerous end-of-chapter homework problems enhance understanding. Based on course-tested material, this textbook is ideal for a single or two-semester graduate course on linear multivariable control systems in aerospace, chemical, electrical and mechanical engineering.

Critic Reviews

“'High standards of linear control were established in the 1960s in pioneering works by R. Bellman, R. Kalman, and L. Pontryagin. However, this field of research remains active and is permanently enriched with new results and new applications, as the book by S. P. Bhattacharyya and L. H. Keel vividly demonstrates.' Boris Polyak, IFAC Fellow, Institute for Control Science, Moscow”

'One of the most valuable features of this book is that it integrates the pillars of control theory with recent advancements, resulting in an up-to-date treatment of the topic.' Antonio Visioli, University of Brescia
