To-Degree-of-Freedom Control Systems The Youla Parameterization Approach [Paperback]

This book covers the most important issues from classical and robust control, deterministic and stochastic control, system identification, and adaptive and iterative control strategies. It covers most of the known control system methodologies using a new base, the Youla parameterization (YP). This concept is introduced and extended for TDOF control loops. The Keviczky-Banyasz parameterization (KP) method developed for closed loop systems is also presented. The book is valuable for those who want to see through the jungle of available methods by using a unified approach, and for those who want to prepare computer code with a given algorithm.

• Provides comprehensive coverage of the most widely used control system methodologies
• The first book to use the Youla parameterization (YP) as a common base for comparison and algorithm development
• Compares YP and Keviczky-Banyasz (KB) parameterization to help you write your own computer algorithms
