Author Description

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
