Mathematical Control Theory (eBook, PDF)

An Introduction

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Mathematical Control Theory: An Introduction presents, in a mathematically precise manner, a unified introduction to deterministic control theory. With the exception of a few more advanced concepts required for the final part of the book, the presentation requires only a knowledge of basic facts from linear algebra, differential equations, and calculus.

In addition to classical concepts and ideas, the author covers the stabilization of nonlinear systems using topological methods, realization theory for nonlinear systems, impulsive control and positive systems, the control of rigid bodies, the stabilization of infinite dimensional systems, and the solution of minimum energy problems.

The book will be ideal for a beginning graduate course in mathematical control theory, or for self study by professionals needing a complete picture of the mathematical theory that underlies the applications of control theory.



"This book is designed as a graduate text on the mathematical theory of deterministic control. It covers a remarkable number of topics...The exposition is excellent, and the book is a joy to read. A novel one-semester course covering both linear and nonlinear systems could be given...The book is an excellent one for introducing a mathematician to control theory." - Bulletin of the AMS

"The book is very well written from a mathematical point of view of control theory. The author deserves much credit for bringing out such a book which is a useful and welcome addition to books on the mathematics of control theory." - Control Theory and Advance Technology

"At last! We did need an introductory textbook on control which can be read, understood, and enjoyed by anyone." - Gian-Carlo Rota, The Bulletin of Mathematics Books

Rezensionen

"It enables the reader to acquire a capability to construct and analyze biological systems. The mathematical exposition is clear and with detailed explanations of important ideas and interesting results. The book takes an expository approach where the continuous prose intersects with several carefully constructed diagrams and figures. ... it contains an extensive list of references and can serve as a reference text for researchers in this field." (Stéphanie Abou and Anita T. Layton, SIAM Review, Vol. 63 (4), December, 2021)

"An appendix summarizes important mathematical background results. The treatment of both finite- and infinite-dimensional systems is a unique feature of the book ... . the book remains largely a book on classical methods, though one of highest mathematical standards. The book is decidedly mathematical in style, with complete proofs of all results, stringent mathematical argumentation, and a traditional definition-theorem-proof structure. ... this second edition of the classical text remains a highly valuable contribution to the field." (Lars Grüne, SIAM Review, Vol. 63 (2), September, 2021)

"This new edition should be a useful resource for students and researchers of control theory." (IEEE Control Systems Magazine, Vol. 41 (2), April, 2021)

"This book is designed as a graduate text on the mathematical theory of deterministic control. It covers a remarkable number of topics... The book includes material on the realization of both linear and nonlinear systems, impulsive control, and positive linear systems subjects not usually covered in an 'introductory' book... To get so much material in such a short space, the pace of the presentation is brisk. However, the exposition is excellent, and the book is a joy to read. A novel one-semester course covering both linear and nonlinear systems could be given... The book is an excellent one for introducing a mathematician to control theory. The book presents a large amount of material very well, and its use is highly recommended." Bulletin of the AMS
