✦ Synopsis

Linear Multivariable Control is for graduate students specializing in
control, engineering scientists engaged in control systems research
and development, and mathematicians with some previous
acquaintance with control problems. It presents a unified approach
to the structural synthesis of multivariable control systems that are
linear, time-invariant, and of finite dynamic order.

Emphasizing a geometric rather than a computational approach,
the author describes intuitive and economical methods for handling
synthesis. He then applies these methods to two control problems
of long-standing interest: regulation and non interaction. Routine
numerical examples are placed among the exercises at the end
of each chapter. Each of the major synthesis problems treated
theoretically is then complemented by a skeleton procedure for,
and numerical illustrations of the required computation.
