Control Systems Engineering

This engineering book offers an integrated treatment of continuous-time and discrete-time systems for undergraduate or postgraduate courses. The examples span various engineering disciplines to illustrate the basic system concepts with a strong emphasis on practical hardware systems modeling. The book covers time and frequency domain analysis and design techniques for control systems, digital control systems, state variables, Liapunov stability, optimal control, and recent advances like adaptive and fuzzy control. Features include simplified design and generalizations built on examples, and a chapter on nonlinear systems.
