The authors demonstrate through numerous examples that computer simulations of optimal controllers are easy to implement and help give the reader an intuitive feel for the equations. To help build the reader′s confidence in understanding the theory and its practical applications, the authors have provided many opportunities throughout the book for writing simple programs.
Optimal Control will also serve as an invaluable reference for control engineers in the industry. It offers numerous tables that make it easy to find the equations needed to implement optimal controllers for practical applications. All simulations have been performed using MATLAB and relevant Toolboxes.
Optimal Control assumes a background in the state–variable representation of systems; because matrix manipulations are the basic mathematical vehicle of the book, a short review is included in the appendix.
A lucid introductory text and an invaluable reference, Optimal Control will serve as a complete tool for the professional engineer and advanced student alike.
As a superb introductory text and an indispensable reference, this new edition of Optimal Control will serve the needs of both the professional engineer and the advanced student in mechanical, electrical, and aerospace engineering. Its coverage encompasses all the fundamental topics as well as the major changes of recent years, including output–feedback design and robust design. An abundance of computer simulations using MATLAB and relevant Toolboxes is included to give the reader the actual experience of applying the theory to real–world situations. Major topics covered include:
∗ Static Optimization
∗ Optimal Control of Discrete–Time Systems
∗ Optimal Control of Continuous–Time Systems
∗ The Tracking Problem and Other LQR Extensions
∗ Final–Time–Free and Constrained Input Control
∗ Dynamic Programming
∗ Optimal Control for Polynomial Systems
∗ Output Feedback and Structured Control
∗ Robustness and Multivariable Frequency–Domain Techniques

Store description
The Reader's Corner is such fun,it's too bad you have to buy our books on line. We have eight foot tall outside bookshelves across the entire front of the store. There is a money slot in the door for night sales, which go to support National Public Radio. Inside, which can be too crowded at times, are surprisingly good books, only 1% are ever listed on-line. We also sell records, music cd's, comic books, mags, computer software and games. Best of all is the found art decorating every spare spot. The motto on the front door: NO SHOOTING, NO SMOKING, NO MOONING THE MANAGEMENT. …
