Finite Dimensional Linear Systems (Decision & Control)
(Originally published in 1970, Finite Dimensional Linear S...)
Originally published in 1970, Finite Dimensional Linear Systems is a classic textbook that provides a solid foundation for learning about dynamical systems and encourages students to develop a reliable intuition for problem solving. The theory of linear systems has been the bedrock of control theory for 50 years and has served as the springboard for many significant developments, all the while remaining impervious to change. Since linearity lies at the heart of much of the mathematical analysis used in applications, a firm grounding in its central ideas is essential. This book touches upon many of the standard topics in applied mathematics, develops the theory of linear systems in a systematic way, making as much use as possible of vector ideas, and contains a number of nontrivial examples and many exercises. Audience: The book is recommended for students in their first year of graduate school. The topics covered form the core for advanced work in fields such as optimal control, estimation, stability, electrical networks, and the control of distributed systems. Contents: Preface to the Classics Edition; Preface; Chapter 1: Linear Differential Equations; Chapter 2: Linear Systems; Chapter 3: Least Squares Theory; Chapter 4: Stability; References; Glossary of Notation; Index.
