Analysis and Control of Nonlinear Process Systems - Gábor Szederkényi

. .

Résumé :
This book will sell because non-linear process control is the coming thing but requires a considerable amount of mathematics and also a method of generating a suitably large-scale controller. This book provides both....

Biographie:
Katalin Hangos obtained M.Sc.s in chemistry and computer science form Lor?nd E?tv?s University in Budapest, and a Ph.D. and D.Sc from the Hungarian Academy of Science. She is currently a professor at the Hungarian Academy as well as a visiting professor at the University of Queensland and at the Technical University of Denmark. Her current research interests include: intelligent control systems and the theoretical foundations of model-based operator support systems. She teaches at both undergraduate and postgraduate level in intelligent control and the analysis and control of non-linear systems. J?zsef Bokor is the Research Director of the Systems and Control Laboratory at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. He obtained his M.Sc. from the Technical University of Budapest and his Ph.D. and D.Sc. from the Hungarian Academy. His research interests include Identification problems in closed-loop systems, fault detection and modelling of dynamic systems with associated realisation theories. He teaches postgraduate courses in multi-variable feedback systems, system identification and control of non-linear systems. G?bor Szederk?nyi has just obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Veszpr?m but has already published papers in a number of peer-reviewed journals and is now a research fellow at the Hungarian Academy. His research interests include: analysis and control of non-linear systems and model-based fault detection and diagnosis in non-linear systems. He currently teaches undergraduates in linear control theory and discrete mathematics.
