Abstract

Numerical Methods for Linear Control Systems Design and Analysis is an interdisciplinary textbook aimed at systematic descriptions and implementations of numerically-viable algorithms based on well-established, efficient and stable modern numerical linear techniques for mathematical problems arising in the design and analysis of linear control systems both for the first- and second-order models.

• Unique coverage of modern mathematical concepts such as parallel computations, second-order systems, and large-scale solutions
• Background material in linear algebra, numerical linear algebra, and control theory included in text
• Step-by-step explanations of the algorithms and examples

"This is a very comprehensive book presenting the state-of-the-art in numerical techniques for linear systems and control. All the key developments in the area in the last two decades are covered in a clear, concise and practical manner. The accompanying MATLAB-based software implementations of the main algorithms will make the book particularly attractive to graduate students, researchers and practicing engineers concerned about numerical issues in control techniques. The book is very appropriate for one or more graduate courses on numerical techniques for control that could follow a conventional first course on linear system theory."

"This book provides a comprehensive treatment of system theory and numerical analysis written by an expert in both fields. It covers a wide range of topics and can be used for undergraduate and graduate courses in the increasingly important area of systems and computation"
