Control Systems: Modeling, Analysis, and Design introduces students to the modeling of dynamic and control systems and the study of the characteristics, performance, stability, response, and design of several control systems. The organization of the book's chapters mirrors that of a typical control system diagram. Each chapter begins with an ......
Continuous-Time, Sampled-Data, and Networked Systems
Engineering systems operate through actuators, most of which will exhibit phenomena such as saturation or zones of no operation, commonly known as dead zones. These are examples of piecewise-affine characteristics, and they can have a considerable impact on the stability and performance of engineering systems. This book targets controller design ......
This book is a volume in the Penn Press Anniversary Collection. To mark its 125th anniversary in 2015, the University of Pennsylvania Press rereleased more than 1,100 titles from Penn Press's distinguished backlist from 1899-1999 that had fallen out of print. Spanning an entire century, the Anniversary Collection offers peer-reviewed scholarship ......
The performance of a process, such as aircraft fuel consumption, can be enhanced when its most effective controls and operating points are determined. Primer on Optimal Control Theory provides an introduction to the theory behind analysing these processes and finding the best controls, which provides a sound basis for those wishing to tackle more ......
Discusses analysis and design techniques for linear feedback control systems using MATLAB (R) software. By reducing the mathematics, increasing MATLAB working examples, and inserting short scripts and plots within the text, the authors have created a resource suitable for almost any type of user. For beginners, the book provides an efficient ......
Designed to meet the needs of a wide audience without sacrificing mathematical depth and rigor, Adaptive Control Tutorial presents the design, analysis, and application of a wide variety of algorithms that can be used to manage dynamical systems with unknown parameters. Its tutorial-style presentation of the fundamental techniques and algorithms ......
This book provides a comprehensive and in-depth treatment of one of the most important control problems: the nonlinear output regulation problem. It contains up-to-date research results and algorithms and tools for approaching and solving the output regulation problem and other related problems, such as robust stabilization of nonlinear systems. ......
Control of Nonlinear Systems to Achieve Performance Objectives
H* control originated in an effort to codify classical control methods where one shapes frequency response functions to meet certain objectives. H* control underwent tremendous development in the 1980s and made considerable strides toward systematizing classical control. This book addresses the next major issue - how this extends to nonlinear ......
This monograph presents a unified mathematical framework for a wide range of problems in estimation control. The authors discuss the two most commonly used methodologies: the stochastic "H2" approach and the deterministic (worst-case) "H*" approach. Despite the fundamental differences in the philosophies of these two approaches, the authors have ......
