A MATHEMATICAL INTRODUCTION TO CONTROL THEORY

by Shlomo Engelberg (Jerusalem College of Technology, Israel)

Table of Contents (151k)
Preface (154k)
Chapter 1: Mathematical Preliminaries (722k)

Striking a careful balance between mathematical rigor and engineering-oriented applications, this textbook aims to maximize the readers' understanding of both the mathematical and engineering aspects of control theory.

The bedrock elements of classical control theory are comprehensively covered: the Routh–Hurwitz theorem and applications, Nyquist diagrams, Bode plots, root locus plots, the design of controllers (phase-lag, phase-lead, lag-lead, and PID), and three further advanced topics: non-linear control, modern control and discrete-time control.

A Mathematical Introduction to Control Theory will be an invaluable book for junior and senior level university students in engineering, particularly electrical engineering. Students with a good knowledge of algebra and complex variables will also find many interesting applications in this volume.


Contents:

  • Mathematical Preliminaries
  • Transfer Functions
  • Feedback — An Introduction

  • The Principle of the Argument and Its Consequences
  • The Root Locus Diagram
  • Compensation
  • Some Nonlinear Control Theory
  • An Introduction to Modern Control
