SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Using numerous worked examples and problems, this book provides and introduction to the use of state space methods in control system analysis and design. It has been written for those with a very basic background in linear control theory and linear algebra. It provides physical insight into the various procedures considered as well as presenting the theoretical derivations. State Variable Methods in Automatic Control will be of interest to students and lecturers involved with courses on control engineering, specifically those involving state space methods. It will also be valuable for professional engineers involved in systems and circuit theory, as well as control system design.
