Publisher's Synopsis
This volume features research results on robustness, H2 control and H00 synthesis. It combines these results with previous work on optimal control to form a complete picture of control system design and analysis.;This work covers the analysis of control systems, H2 (linear quadratic Gaussian), and H00 to a degree not found in many texts, its logical organization and its focus on establishing a solid grounding in the basics before tackling mathematical subtleties makes it an ideal teaching text; it provides computer projects in each chapter to challenge readers with "what if" questions concerning the choice of cost functions and specifications; it simplifies results and derivations by treating special cases whenever possible without compromising the clarity of the results and methods; and it familiarizes readers with the use of CAD tools for robust optimal controller design.;Software use is integrated throughout the book, and is included in almost every example.
