The workshop was held to provide an overview of polynomial system methods in LQG (or H ) and Hoo optimal control and 2 estimation. The speakers at the workshop were chosen to reflect the important contributions polynomial techniques have made to systems theory and also to show the potential benefits which should arise in real applications. An introduction to H2 control theory for continuous-time systems is included in chapter 1. Three different approaches are considered covering state-space model descriptions, Wiener-Hopf transfer function methods and finally polyno- mial equation based transfer function solutions. The differences and similarities between the techniques are explored and the different assumptions employed in the solutions are discussed. The standard control system description is intro- duced in this chapter and the use of Hardy spaces for optimization. Both control and estimation problems are considered in the context of the standard system description. The tutorial chapter concludes with a number of fully worked ex- amples.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52619367317777,"sku":"NLS9783540760771","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783540760771.jpg?v=1761535709"},{"product_id":"nonlinear-industrial-control-systems-book-michael-j-grimble-9781447174554","title":"Nonlinear Industrial Control Systems","description":"Nonlinear Industrial Control Systems presents a range of mostly optimisation-based methods for severely nonlinear systems; it discusses feedforward and feedback control and tracking control systems design. The plant models and design algorithms are provided in a MATLAB® toolbox that enable both academic examples and industrial application studies to be repeated and evaluated, taking into account practical application and implementation problems.    The text makes nonlinear control theory accessible to readers having only a background in linear systems, and concentrates on real applications of nonlinear control. It covers:        different ways of modelling nonlinear systems including state space, polynomial-based, linear parameter varying, state-dependent and hybrid; design techniques for nonlinear optimal control including generalised-minimum-variance, model predictive control, quadratic-Gaussian, factorised and H∞ design methods; design philosophies that are suitable for aerospace, automotive, marine, process-control, energy systems, robotics, servo systems and manufacturing; steps in design procedures that are illustrated in design studies to define cost-functions and cope with problems such as disturbance rejection, uncertainties and integral wind-up; and baseline non-optimal control techniques such as nonlinear Smith predictors, feedback linearization, sliding mode control and nonlinear PID.              Nonlinear Industrial Control Systems is valuable to engineers in industry dealing with actual nonlinear systems. It provides students with a comprehensive range of techniques and examples for solving real nonlinear control design problems.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52689083662609,"sku":"NLS9781447174554","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781447174554.jpg?v=1762334471"},{"product_id":"optimal-control-and-stochastic-estimation-book-michael-j-grimble-9780471905936","title":"Optimal Control and Stochastic Estimation","description":"Two volumes, which together present a modern and comprehensive overview of the field of optimal control and stochastic estimation. Volume 1 concentrates on the deterministic aspects of linear optimal control theory, whilst Volume 2 is concerned with stochastic optimal control theory and its applications. Over the past 15 years this area has been the subject of wide debate and activity. The authors have aimed in these two volumes to make this wealth of material fall into place and to establish a fresh conceptual perspective of the field. They have also lain special emphasis on the practical applications of the theory: each chapter concludes with a series of problems, and an extensive list of references, while the final chapter of each volume is devoted to a detailed study of one particular application of the theories expounded. The authors have considerable experience in this area, both as a result of extensive research and because of their practical knowledge of industrial projects, particularly through the Industrial Control Unit at Strathclyde University. Their text will provide an invaluable insight for industrial engineers into the power and scope of the optimal control and estimation approach. Several of the topics discussed are open research questions which will be of importance to post-graduate research engineers, as well as undergraduate students.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53182779195665,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53182779293969,"sku":"GOR007685506","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780471905936.jpg?v=1772272893"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-michael-j-grimble.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
