Overview
Designed for one-semester introductory senior-or graduate-level course, the authors provide the student with an introduction of analysis techniques used in the design of nonlinear and optimal feedback control systems. There is special emphasis on the fundamental topics of stability, controllability, and optimality, and on the corresponding geometry associated with these topics. Each chapter contains several examples and a variety of exercises.

Provides an introduction to the analysis techniques used in the design of nonlinear and optimal feedback control systems. Examines the basic concepts of stability, controllability, optimality, and the related geometry. Discusses feedback controllers for stability, function minimizing control, optimal control, and two-player differential games. Also explores Lyapunov stability theory and control system design, controllability of nonlinear systems, differential games and design concepts, Pontryagin's minimum principle, and numerical algorithms. Concepts are illustrated with examples in a range of disciplines and design contexts, combining theory and practice. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
