Control Theory for Linear Systems

  • The connection of geometric control theory to H2 and H-infinity optimal control theory provides an additional insight for the reader
  • The authors have all contributed at different times to the development of the theory presented in the book: Malo Hautus was involved in the development of the fundamental concepts of linear system theory. Harry Trentelman was a major contributor to the development of almost invariant subspaces, and Anton Stoorvogel helped to establish the connection between geometric control and H2 and H-infinity optimal control

Part of the book series: Communications and Control Engineering (CCE)

About this book

Control Theory for Linear Systems deals with the mathematical theory of feedback control of linear systems. It treats a wide range of control synthesis problems for linear state space systems with inputs and outputs. The book provides a treatment of these problems using state space methods, often with a geometric flavour. Its subject matter ranges from controllability and observability, stabilization, disturbance decoupling, and tracking and regulation, to linear quadratic regulation, H2 and H-infinity control, and robust stabilization. Each chapter of the book contains a series of exercises, intended to increase the reader's understanding of the material. Often, these exercises generalize and extend the material treated in the regular text.
