Discrete Time Control Systems

"In-depth discussions of selected topics (such as Z transform, and pole placement when the control signal was a vector quantity) have been moved to optional Appendices. discusses in detail the theoretical background for designing control systems. offers a greatly expanded treatment of the pole placement design with minimum-order observer by means of state space approach (Ch. 6) and polynomial equations approach (Ch. 7). features a new chapter on the polynomial equations approach to the control systems design as an alternative to the design of control systems via pole placement with minimum-order observers. Includes the design of model matching control systems. emphasizes the usefulness of MATLAB for studying discrete-time control systems showing how to use MATLAB optimally to obtain numerical solutions that involve various types of vector-matrix operations, plotting response curves, and system design based on quadratic optimal control. presents many instructive examples and worked-out problems throughout the entire book."--
