Description
Self-contained introduction to control theory that emphasizes on the most modern designs for high performance and robustness. It assumes no previous coursework and offers three chapters of key topics summarizing classical control. To provide readers with a deeper understanding of robust control theory than would be otherwise possible, the text incorporates mathematical derivations and proofs. Includes many elementary examples and advanced case studies using MATLAB Toolboxes. 1 Introduction.- 2 Rational Transfer Functions.- 3 SISO Feedback Systems.- 4 Classical Design Methods.- 5 Linear Dynamical Systems.- 6 Basic Properties of Multivariable Feedback Systems.- 7 Norms of Systems and Performance.- 8 H2 Optimal Control.- 9 H? Optimal Control: Riccati-Approach.- 10 H? Optimal Control: LMI-Approach and Applications.- 11 Case Studies for H2 and H? Optimal Control ..- 12 Representation of Uncertainty.- 13 Synthesis of Robust Controllers.- 14 Case Studies for Robust Control.- A Mathematical Background.- Notation and Symbols.
