Digital Control and Estimation

Focusing on continuous and discrete control theory, this text covers a range of topics - beginning with a revision of classical control and leading to advanced subjects such as optimal control, optimal filtering, parameter estimation and adaptive control. Placing emphasis on numerical, practical and implementation issues, the book features an integrated treatment of state space and frequency domain techniques and discusses design trade-offs and constraints, including the effects of unstable poles, non-minimum phase zeros, time delays and sampling. It includes an examination of an industrial case study, highlighting specific theories and practical features developed in the text, and shows all continuous time results as the appropriate limit of the corresponding discrete result as the sampling period goes to zero.
