About this Item

Paperback. 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. This book features recent research results on robustness, H control, and synthesis. It combines these new results with previous work on optimal control to form a picture of control system design and analysis.
