Modern Linear Control Design: A Time-Domain Approach [Hardcover]

This book offers a compact introduction to modern linear control design.? The simplified overview presented of linear time-domain methodology paves the road for the study of more advanced non-linear techniques. Only rudimentary knowledge of linear systems theory is assumed - no use of Laplace transforms or frequency design tools is required. Emphasis is placed on assumptions and logical implications, rather than abstract completeness; on interpretation and physical meaning, rather than theoretical formalism; on results and solutions, rather than derivation or solvability.? The topics covered include transient performance and stabilization via state or output feedback; disturbance attenuation and robust control; regional eigenvalue assignment and constraints on input or output variables; asymptotic regulation and disturbance rejection. Lyapunov theory and Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI) are discussed as key design methods. All methods are demonstrated with MATLAB to promote practical use and comprehension.This compact introduction covers transient performance and stabilization via state or output feedback; disturbance attenuation and robust control; asymptotic regulation and disturbance rejection, Linear Matrix Inequalities and more. Includes MATLAB examples.
