เนื้อหาย่อ : The goal of Modern Control System Theory and Application is to bridge the gap existing between classical and modern control theory. My main objective in writing this book has been to produce an easily understandable book from the reader's viewpoint. It is written in an integrated manner in order that one can proceed from the first to the last chapter clearly. This book aims at an audience consisting of the senior undergraduate student, the first-year graduate student, and the practicing control-system engineer. Its contents correspond to approximately three semester credit hours and are based on courses that I have taught at universities (The Cooper Union and the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn) and in industry (Sperry Rand Corporation). Modern Control System Theory and Application is distinguished by the following desirable features: 1. A unified blending of the classical and modern approaches. It uses the transfer function and state-space methods in parallel throughout the book, and then introduces modern optimal control theory including such important topics as dynamic program- ming and the maximum principle. 2. Presentation of working digital-computer programs. 3. The development of theoretical topics is coupled with clear applications of the theory in engineering design. Recognizing that control theory is interdisciplinary and cuts across all specialized engineering fields, I have presented modern illustrations and practical problems from the fields of servomechanisms, space-vehicle systems, aircraft, submarines, hydrofoils, economics, management, biomedical engineering, and nuclear reactor control systems. This should prove to be of interest to electrical, mechanical, aerospace, system, chemical, nuclear, biomedical and industrial engineers. 4. A coverage of a variety of topics of recent importance. In addition to dynamic programming and the maximum principle, the presentation includes Liapunov's stability criterion, Popov's method, the generalized circle criterion, and linear-state- variable feedback. 5. An in-depth coverage of linear and nonlinear control systems. This is a flexible book designed for a one-term course which can be easily adapted to the student's training and ability and to various curricula. 6. A set of problems with answers to one-half of them contained in the book. This
