商品簡介
This book is intended for engineers, mathematicians, physicists, and computer scientists interested in control theory and its applications. It describes a special class of linear and bilinear control systems known as weakly coupled systems. These systems are examined using two new approaches developed by the authors in the last 20 years: the recursive approach (based on fixed point iterations) and the Hamiltonian approach (based on block diagonalization of the Hamiltonian matrix of optimal control theory of linear systems). Theoretical results are demonstrated with applications from the aerospace, chemical, electrical, and automotive industries. The design of subsystem-level optimal filters and controllers is also addressed. Self-contained chapters are grouped in sections on the recursive approach, the Hamiltonian approach, and bilinear weakly coupled control systems. Gajic is affiliated with Rutgers University.
