About Systems And Control
Product Description Systems and Control presents modeling, analysis, and control of dynamical systems. Introducing students to the basics of dynamical system theory and supplying them with the tools necessary for control system design, it emphasizes design and demonstrates how dynamical system theory fits into practical applications. Classical methods and the techniques of postmodern control engineering are presented in a unified fashion, demonstrating how the current tools of a control engineer can supplement more classical tools. Broad in scope, Systems and Control shows the multidisciplinary role of dynamics and control; presents neural networks, fuzzy systems, and genetic algorithms; and provides a self-contained introduction to chaotic systems. The text employs Lyapunov's stability theory as a unifying medium for different types of dynamical systems, using it--with its variants--to analyze dynamical system models. Specifically, optimal, fuzzy, sliding mode, and chaotic controllers are all constructed with the aid of the Lyapunov method and its extensions. In addition, a class of neural networks is also analyzed using Lyapunov's method. Ideal for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate courses in systems and control, this text can also be used for introductory courses in nonlinear systems and modern automatic control. It requires working knowledge of basic differential equations and elements of linear algebra; a review of the necessary mathematical techniques and terminology is provided. About the Author Stanislaw H. Zak is Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue. He has worked in various areas of control, optimization, and neural networks. He is coauthor of Selected Methods of Analysis of Linear Dynamical Systems (1984, in Polish) and An Introduction to Optimization, 2/e (2001). Dr. Zak has also contributed to the Comprehensive Dictionary of Electrical Engineering (1999) and is a past associate editor of Dynamics and Control and the IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks.
