DIGITAL CONTROL AND STATE VARIABLE METHODS [electronic resource] /

The third edition of Digital Control and State Variable Methods presents control theory relevant to the analysis and design of computer-control systems. Meant for the undergraduate and postgraduate courses on advanced control systems, this text provides an up-to-date treatment of digital control, state variable analysis and design, and nonlinear control. Key features Modular presentation of digital control, state variable methods and nonlinear systems. Includes state variable analysis and design methods for continuous-time and discrete time systems. Detailed discussion of nonlinear systems both conventional and intelligent Presents up-to-date treatment of digital control systems. New! Chapter on nonlinear control structures. (chapter 10) New! In-depth coverage of optimal control in the light of Lyapunov stability and Lyapunov function (chapter -8) New to this edition New chapter on nonlinear control structure Upgraded coverage of optimal control Modular presentation of digital control, state variable methods and nonlinear systems.
