Synopsis

This book shows clearly how the study of concrete control systems has motivated the development of the mathematical tools needed for solving such problems. In many cases, by using this apparatus, far-reaching generalizations have been made, and its further development will have an important effect on many fields of mathematics.In the book a way is demonstrated in which the study of the Watt flyball governor has given rise to the theory of stability of motion. The criteria of controllability, observability, and stabilization are stated. Analysis is made of dynamical systems, which describe an autopilot, spacecraft orientation system, controllers of a synchronous electric machine, and phase-locked loops. The Aizerman and Brockett problems are discussed and an introduction to the theory of discrete control systems is given.

About this title

Review

Instead of imposing viewpoint, reader builds working knowledge, and creativity will be stimulated thus he can develop his own perspective. -- Mathematics Abstracts, 2002

The very readable book addresses primarily readers with an engineering background, without however relinquishing mathematical exactness. -- Mathematical Reviews, 2002
