Balancing mathematically rigorous theory with practical design-oriented approaches, this book offers in-depth coverage of three distinct and important areas of control engineering: PID control, robust control, and optimal control. Written by recognized leaders in the field, it addresses classical control theory appropriate for the computer-aided design environments of today. The authors also describe results useful for the robustness analysis and synthesis of control systems, cover elegant optimization methods essential in control engineering, and discuss advances in three term controllers.
