Linear Systems Theory - Chen, Ben M.

. .

Résumé :
This text is the first comprehensive treatment of structural decompositions of various types of linear systems, including autonomous, unforced or unsensed, strictly proper, non-strictly proper, and descriptor or singular systems. Structural properties play an important role in the understanding of linear systems, and also provide insight to the solution of many control problems related to stabilization, disturbance decoupling, robust and optimal control with applications to industrial process control, aircraft and ship control, process automation control, and many other types of engineering systems. Exercises, examples, cases studies, and MATLAB-based computational and design algorithms make the work suitable as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in aeronautics and astronautics, applied mathematics, chemical, electrical and mechanical engineering. It may also serve as a valuable self-study reference for researchers and engineering practitioners in areas related to systems and control theory....
