Modern Control Engineering

This book covers topic related to the theory of digital and modern control systems design: state space description and analysis of continuous and discrete time dynamic systems including optimal control solutions. At the end of the course the students should be able to: 1. Perform state-space modelling of dynamical systems. 2. Use state-space representation to solve continuous time linear multivariable and discrete-time systems. 3. Conduct analysis and design of control systems with emphasize on stability. 4. Explain the methods used for optimal control system analysis and design. 5. Use Riccatti equation to design an optimal control system. 6. Have the competence to independently read the literature in control and systems theory.
