This book covers theoretical methods for the design of continuous time controllers for linear multivariate systems. It is intended for use by those wishing to build on a first course in control systems, either to expand their knowledge as practising engineers or as postgraduate students doing higher degrees in control engineering.
Based on material used in graduate courses taught by Professor Balasubramanian at the University of New Brunswick, this book brings together state space and frequency domain design methods for linear multivariable systems. It compares their similarities and highlights the advantages or disadvantages of the various approaches for particular applications. Divided into eleven chapters this book covers in some depth: state space design methods, frequency domain methods for multivariable systems, characteristic locus desiqn methods and stochastic control problems.

About the Author
Ramachandran Balasubramanian was born in 1942 in Periakulam, Tamil Nadu, India. He had an outstanding academic career starting at the University of Madras where he passed the BE examination in Electrical Engineering with distinction, securing first rank. He was awarded a ME from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, specialising in control engineering, and a PhD in the same field from the University of New Brunswick in 1968. He joined the faculty of the Electrical Engineering Department of the University of New Brunswick in 1969, and served as a full Professor from 1979 until his untimely death in the Air India plane crash in June 1985.
Professor Balasubramanian taught at the University of New Brunswick on control engineering post-graduate courses and also on power systems, communications and general systems theory. He published over 50 papers on various control engineering and power topics, although his major interests were in nonlinear multivariate and stochastic control.
He served as Director of Graduate Studies and Research in the Department of Electrical Engineering between 1978 and '81. His broad knowledge was also evident in his work as a consultant, in which position he advised on satellite altitude control to the Communications Research Centre, Ottawa, on power systems to the New Brunswick Power Commission and on myoelectric control to the Bio-engineering Institute of the University. In 1983 he delivered a series of lectures in the People's Republic of China. It was while preparing for these lectures that he felt the need for a text covering the topics of this book.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
