Detailed description

The Development of modern optimal and robust control theory in the last thirty years calls for significant change in the teaching of classic control. It is the authors’ goal to integrate the modern optimal and robust control theory into classical control theory using tools already available from the context of classic control. This book represents the authors’ first attempt towards this challenging goal.

The book includes a significant portion of the well-known classical control material, albeit with some twists and extensions whenever appropriate in consideration of recent developments and the available modern computational tools. There is significant coverage on some nontraditional topics such as

Two-degree-of-freedom control
Kharitonov robust stability results of polynomials
Performance limitations due to non-minimum phase zeros
Overshoot and undershoot and their relations with poles/zeros locations
Routh table method for computing 2-norm
Visualizing frequency responses from the Riemann sphere
Modern optimal and robust control using classical tools

The book includes the following chapters:

Modeling and simulation
Stability and stabilization
Time domain analysis
Root locus method
Frequency domain analysis
Classical design in frequency domain
Performance and robustness
Optimal and robust control
