✦ Synopsis
Written for the first-year graduate student, this text not only provides the conventional analytic tools, but it also discusses advanced research topics which the reader may wish to investigate. The author's approach is based on the assumption that although control theory may be simpler in terms of linear analysis, the world is, in reality, nonlinear, and engineering students must come to grips with it on nonlinear terms. The book reviews linear continuous systems, statistical design principles, and sampled data systems. After this, there is extensive treatment of all the analytic techniques used in nonlinear control. The remainder of the text is concerned with the design of optimum systems and adaptive systems. Almost all the topics are of immediate research importance.
