This supplement presents the use of a technique derived from research conducted over the last 20 years. This technique, called interpolation theory in analytic design, is still not found in major introductory textbooks. Most introductory-level books teach trial and error design methods, not analytic design. Using this new technique, a mathematical existence theorem, and a solution algorithm, are posited and then used to solve a problem. Interpolation theory, which requires a minimal amount of mathematics, is the technique used to solve analytical design problems. The analytical design techniques presented in this book reflect modern approaches to problem-solving developed over the past 20 years (especially in the area of frequency domain), and are thoroughly up-to-date, as compared to the trial-and-error approach, which is now more than 30 years old.

This text presents an introduction to Linear-Quadratic (LQ) Control theory. LQ theory represents one of the main approaches to the design of Linear Multivariable Control Systems, and is taught in most graduate programs in Systems and Control. The theory is augmented with practical design problems using MATLAB software for numerical solutions, thus the text should also be of interest to practicing engineers. There are homework problems at the end of each chapter in addition to Notes and Reference sections which contain valuable information on related theory and references.
