Linear systems control: deterministic and stochastic methods

The textbook is divided into 7 chapters, 5 appendices, a table of contents, atable of examples, extensive index and extensive list of references. Each chapter is provided with a summary of the main points covered and a set of problems relevant to the material in that chapter. Moreover each of the more advanced chapters (3 - 7) are provided with notes describing the history of the mathematical and technical problems which lead to the control theory presented in that chapter. Continuous time methods are the main focus in the book because these provide the most direct connection to physics. This physical foundation allows a logical presentation and gives a good intuitive feel for control systemconstruction. Nevertheless strong attention is also given to discrete time systems. Very few proofs are included in the book but most of the important results are derived. This method of presentation makes the text very readable and gives a good foundation for reading more rigorous texts. Very readable graduate text giving a good foundation for reading more rigorous texts Includes multiple examples, problems and solutions Unique book combining stochastic and deterministic methods INDICE: Introduction.- State Space Modelling of Physical Systems.- Analysis of State Space Models.- Linear Control System Design.- Optimal Control.- Noise in Dynamic Systems.- Optimal Observers: Kalman Filters.
