Introduction to Mathematical Control Theory (Oxford Applied Mathematics and Computing Science Series)

The best concise account of the basic mathematical aspects of control has been brought completely up to date while retaining its focus on state-space methods and its emphasis on points of mathematical interest. The authors have written a new chapter on multivariable theory and a new appendix on Kalman filtering, added a large number of new problems, and updated all the references. This book will continue as a fundamental resource for applied mathematicians studying control theory and for control engineers and electrical and mechanical engineers pursuing mathematically oriented studies. From reviews of the first edition: "Excellent....Strongly recommended."--Bulletin of the International Mathematical Association. "Could hardly be bettered."--Times Higher Education Supplement
