Robust Control Systems: Theory and Case Studies (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783540209294)

Critical to many engineering applications, control engineering brings together diverse fields such as electrical, mechanical and chemical engineering and applied mathematics. Applications range from can be to systems as simple as a DC motor to ones as complex as a spacecraft. The author crafted this book as a self-contained introduction to control theory that emphasizes 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, "Robust Control Systems" incorporates mathematical derivations and proofs. It also includes many elementary examples and advanced case studies using MATLAB Toolboxes.
