This volume is about modelling, analysis and control of linear time invariant systems. It uses what is called the behavioral approach towards mathematical modelling. An essential feature of using the behavioral approach is that it allows these and similar concepts to be introduced in a representation-free manner.

About this title

Review

From the reviews:

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL

"The present book is a major original contribution to the literature and is of high quality. The most original chapters are the ???strongly behavioural??? Chapters 1-6 and the historical preface. The introduction is carefully written and each chapter ends with a precise recapitulation of what has been done. It is well organized, technically well written, philosophically nice, and contains a wealth of examples and exercises. It is also well self-contained for its audience???scientific honesty dictates to congratulate the authors and to recommend this book as a textbook to a large public of systems and control students, and especially for those having already followed a first course on linear systems."
