This text teaches control system design using H-infinity techniques that are simple and compatible with classical control, yet powerful enough to allow the solution of physically meaningful problems. The authors begin by teaching how to formulate control system design problems as mathematical optimization problems and then discuss the theory and ......
One of the main accomplishments of control in the 1980s was the development of a subject called H[infinity] control. This book teaches control system design using H[infinity] techniques. Students will find this book easy to use because it is conceptually simple. They will find it useful because of the widespread appeal of classical frequency ......
Divided into two self-contained parts, this textbook is an introduction to modern real analysis. More than 350 exercises and 100 examples are integrated into the text to help clarify the theoretical considerations and the practical applications to differential geometry, Fourier series, differential equations, and other subjects. The first ......
Chaotic processes are deterministic phenomena which display a random appearance. Many signal processes such as radar and sonar appear random, and chaos theory provides an alternative approach to processing these signals. This book presents a thorough guide to recent developments in chaotic signal processing. This includes the application of ......
The human cardiovascular and respiratory control systems represent an important focal point for developing physiological control theory because of the complexity of the control mechanisms involved, the interaction between cardiovascular and respiratory func?tion, and the importance of this interaction in many clinical situations. This volume ......
As this monograph shows, the purpose of cardinal spline interpolation is to bridge the gap between the linear spline and the cardinal series. The author explains cardinal spline functions, the basic properties of B-splines, including B-splines with equidistant knots and cardinal splines represented in terms of B-splines, and exponential Euler ......
In this textbook on calculus of one variable, applications to the natural sciences play a central role. Examples from biology, chemistry, and physics are discussed in detail without compromising the discussion of the mathematics essential to differential and integral calculus. Calculus for the Natural Sciences distinguishes itself from others on ......
This book introduces optimal control methods, formulated as optimization problems, applied to business dynamics problems. Business dynamics refers to a combination of business management and financial objectives embedded in a dynamical system model. The model is subject to a control that optimizes a performance index and takes both management and ......
Finite functions (in particular, Boolean functions) play a fundamental role in computer science and discrete mathematics. This work describes representations of Boolean functions that have small size for many important functions and which allow efficient work with the represented functions. The representation size of important and selected ......
