Book Description

An excellent introduction to feedback control system design, this book offers a theoretical approach that captures the essential issues and can be applied to a wide range of practical problems. Its explorations of recent developments in the field emphasize the relationship of new procedures to classical control theory, with a focus on single input and output systems that keeps concepts accessible to students with limited backgrounds.

The text is geared toward a single-semester senior course or a graduate-level class for students of electrical engineering.

The opening chapters constitute a basic treatment of feedback design. Topics include a detailed formulation of the control design program, the fundamental issue of performance/stability robustness tradeoff, and the graphical design technique of loopshaping. Subsequent chapters extend the discussion of the loopshaping technique and connect it with notions of optimality. Concluding chapters examine controller design via optimization, offering a mathematical approach that is useful for multivariable systems.

• Feedback Systems: An Introduction for Scientists and Engineers

  This book provides an introduction to the mathematics needed to model, analyze, and design feedback systems. It uses techniques from physics, computer science, and operations research to introduce control-oriented modeling.

• Control Theory Tutorial: Illustrated by Software Examples

  This open access book introduces the basic principles of control theory in a concise self-study guide. It complements the classic texts by emphasizing the simple conceptual unity of the subject. A novice can quickly see how and why the different parts fit together.

• Mathematical Control Theory (Eduardo D. Sontag)

  This book covers what constitutes the common core of control theory and is unique in its emphasis on foundational aspects. While covering a wide range of topics written in a standard theorem/proof style, it also develops the necessary techniques from scratch.

• Discrete-Event Control of Stochastic Networks (Eitan Altman, et al)

  Opening new directions in research in both discrete event dynamic systems as well as in stochastic control, this volume focuses on a wide class of control and of optimization problems over sequences of integer numbers.

• Stochastic Modeling and Control (Ivan Ganchev Ivanov)

  The book provides a self-contained treatment on practical aspects of stochastic modeling and calculus including applications drawn from engineering, statistics, and computer science.

• Foundations of Machine Learning (Mehryar Mohri, et al)

  This book is a general introduction to machine learning. It covers fundamental modern topics in machine learning while providing the theoretical basis and conceptual tools needed for the discussion and justification of algorithms.
