Analysis and Synthesis of Time-delay Systems

Intended as a comprehensive review of the modern theory of control systems described by functional-differential equations, this book gives emphasis to methods and results which are applicable to analysis and synthesis of industrial control systems with time delays. It is designed for those with knowledge of mathematical methods of control theory, although not all chapters require this. The introductory chapters have examples of systems with delays and typical control problems. Also included are basic results of the mathematical theory of functional-differential and discrete equations.
