Offers unified treatment of conventional and modern continuous and discrete control theory and demonstrates how to apply the theory to realistic control system design problems. Along with linear and nonlinear, digital and optimal control systems, it presents four case studies of actual designs. The majority of solutions contained in the book and the problems at the ends of the chapters were generated using the commercial software package, MATLAB, and is available free to the users of the book by returning a postcard contained with the book to the MathWorks, Inc. This software also contains the following features/utilities created to enhance MATLAB and several of the MathWorks' toolboxes: Tutorial File which contains the essentials necessary to understand the MATLAB interface (other books require additional books for full comprehension), Demonstration m-file which gives the users a feel for the various utilities included, OnLine HELP, Synopsis File which reviews and highlights the features of each chapter.

(The definitive guide toadvanced control system design ...)
The definitive guide toadvanced control system design Advanced Modern Control System Theory and Design offers the most comprehensive treatment of advanced control systems available today. Superbly organized and easy to use, this book is designed for an advanced course and is a companion volume to the introductory text, Modern Control System Theory and Design, Second Edition (or any other introductory book on control systems). In addition, it can serve as an excellent text for practicing control system engineers who need to learn more advanced control systems techniques in order to perform their tasks. Advanced Modern Control Systems Theory and Design briefly reviews introductory control system analysis concepts and then presents the methods for designing linear control sys-tems using single-degree and two-degrees-of-freedom compensation techniques. The very important subjects of modern control system design using state-space, pole placement, Ackermann's formula, estimation, robust control, and H8 techniques are then presented. The following crucial subjects are then covered in the presentation: * Digital Control System Analysis and Design-extends the continuous concepts presented to discrete systems * Nonlinear Control System Design-extends the linear concepts presented tononlinear systems * Introduction to Optimal Control Theory and Its Applications-presents such key topics as dynamic programming and the maximum principle, as well as applications to the space attitude control problem and the lunar soft-landing problem * Control System Design Examples: Complete Case Studies-presents the complete case studies of five control system design examples that illustrate practical design projects Other notable features of this volume are: * Free MATLAB software containing problem solutions which can be retrieved from the Mathworks, Inc. anonymous FTP server at ftp://ftp.mathworks.com/pub/books/advshinners * MATLAB programs and a tutorial on the use of MATLAB incorporated directly into the text * An extensive set of worked-out, illustrative solutions added in dedicated sections at the end of chapters * End-of-chapter problems-one-third with answers to facilitate self-study * A solutions manual containing solutions to the remaining two-thirds of the problems available from the Wiley editorial department.
