Overview
The purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to linear quadratic theory beyond the typical chapter on the subject found in texts on optimal or multivariable control. Of course, as an introductory text, the material here is not as detailed as that found in advanced books devoted exclusively to the subject.Synopsis

A textbook that has been used for about half of a one-semester graduate course (U. of New Mexico) and bridges the gap between the typical one-chapter coverage of linear quadratic control provided in texts on optimal or multivariable control and the more thorough treatment in advanced books. The MATLAB sections are specifically for practicing engineers who must supply their own numerical algorithms for practical multivariable system design. The 1995 edition was published by Prentice-Hall. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
