This well-written book treats modern concepts of control systems theory to provide an accessible text for the most important aspects in linear and nonlinear multivariable systems. The author presents a well-defined theoretical base with step-by-step instructions on how to apply [them] by thoroughly studying a great number of practical real-world problems and using numerous examples.... A vast range of worked-out examples and qualitative illustrations is included.... The book...is an exceptionally complete and accessible text/reference for graduates and professionals in automatic control and nonlinear control. -Publicationes Mathematicae, Debrecen
This book presents a foundation of modern control systems theory. It is well known that dynamical systems like living organisms, electromechanical and industrial systems, chemical and technological processes, market and ecology can be considered and analyzed using systems theory. The advent of computers has caused rapid strides in the area of control design and these circumstances are reflected in this book. For example software like MATLAB and SIMULINK are widely used here...[and] permits the investigator to formulate and solve the increasingly complex problems of control design.... This book may be very useful for students, postgraduate students, engineers and scientists who are studying and designing controlled dynamical systems. -Zentralblatt Math
