Analysis and Design of Discrete Linear Control Systems

This text provides advanced and detailed coverage of discrete-time or sampled-data linear control systems. Students are presented with a synthesis of state space and transfer-function approaches to the design of state regulators and observers, dynamical output feedback, and feedforward compensation. The book explores the connections between state space and transfer-function methods providing the student with insight into new sythesis procedures. It also examines discrete-time systems as they apply in economics and in the computer control of industrial processes, and linear control theory is represented as the cornerstone of modern control theory.
