Advanced Mathematics and Computational Applications in Control Systems Engineering

<p>Control system engineering is a multidisciplinary discipline that applies automatic</p><p>control theory to design systems with desired behaviors in control environments.</p><p>Automatic control theory has played a vital role in the advancement of engineering and</p><p>science. It has become an essential and integral part of modern industrial and</p><p>manufacturing processes. Today the requirements for control precision have increased</p><p>and real systems have become more complex.</p><p>In control engineering and all other engineering disciplines the impact of advanced</p><p>mathematical and computational methods is rapidly increasing. Advanced mathematical</p><p>methods are needed because real-world control systems need to comply with several</p><p>conditions related to product quality and safety constraints that have to be taken into</p><p>account in the problem formulation. Conversely the increment in mathematical</p><p>complexity has an impact on the computational aspects related to numerical simulation</p><p>and practical implementation of the algorithms where a balance must also be</p><p>maintained between implementation costs and the performance of the control system.</p><p>This book is a comprehensive set of articles reflecting recent advances in developing and</p><p>applying advanced mathematics and computational applications in control system</p><p>engineering.</p>
