Publisher's Synopsis
This text and reference book bridges the gap between basic classical/modern control principles and more advanced optimal control theories. The authors present continuous and discrete-time formulations of linear systems.;Features include - treatment of feedback and observer design includes studies of static output feedback, two- and three-term (PD, PI and PID) output feedback, dynamic compensator design and robust control design for tracking and disturbance rejection; numerical examples illustrate the theoretical concepts and explain solutions within a computer-aided design environment.
