Bøger i Systems & Control: Foundations & Applications serien

The first volume dealt with the simplest control systems (i.e., single input, single output linear time-invariant systems) and with the simplest algebraic geometry (i.e., affine algebraic geometry).

This book offers a collection of tools and techniques that make predictor feedback ideas applicable to nonlinear systems, systems modeled by PDEs, and systems with highly uncertain or completely unknown input/output delays.

This unified, revised second edition of a two-volume set is a self-contained account of quadratic cost optimal control for a large class of infinite-dimensional systems. There is a unique chapter on semigroup theory of linear operators that brings together advanced concepts and techniques which are usually treated independently.

HIS book presents a generalized state-space theory for the analysis T and synthesis of finite horizon suboptimal Hoo controllers. Assuming the adequacy of linear expressions, Chapter 4 gives an iterative procedure for the synthesis of a suboptimal Hoo controller that yields the required performance even under parameter variations.

This volume provides a general overview of discrete- and continuous-time Markov control processes and stochastic games, along with a look at the range of applications of stochastic control and some of its recent theoretical developments.

Virtually every advanced engi neering system we come in contact with these days depends upon some form of sampling and digital signal processing. Our observation of the existing literature is that the underlying continuous-time system is usually forgotten once the samples are tak en.
