Download or read book Internal and External Stabilization of Linear Systems with Constraints written by Ali Saberi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-06-21 with total page 846 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unifying two decades of research, this book is the first to establish a comprehensive foundation for a systematic analysis and design of linear systems with general state and input constraints. For such systems, which can be used as models for most nonlinear systems, the issues of stability, controller design, additonal constraints, and satisfactory performance are addressed. The book is an excellent reference for practicing engineers, graduate students, and researchers in control systems theory and design. It may also serve as an advanced graduate text for a course or a seminar in nonlinear control systems theory and design in applied mathematics or engineering departments. Minimal prerequisites include a first graduate course in state-space methods as well as a first course in control systems design.
