Hardcover, xv + 385 pages, NOT ex-library. Book looks unread, clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This book provides an overview of the Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) framework, a sophisticated approach to modelling and controlling systems that change their behaviour based on external variables. It acts as a bridge between simple linear systems and complex non-linear ones, offering tools to identify these systems from experimental data. The LPV approach assumes that a system's dynamics are linear, but its parameters (such as gain or time constants) vary as a function of an independent, measurable signal called the scheduling variable. This allows engineers to model non-linear systems - such as aircraft with changing altitudes or chemical reactors with varying temperatures - using extended linear techniques. The volume highlights several modern advancements in the field: - Subspace Identification Methods: A significant portion of the text focuses on subspace algorithms, which are particularly effective for identifying multi-variable (MIMO) LPV systems directly from data without needing complex initial guesses; - Input-Output vs. State-Space Models: The authors discuss the trade-offs between identifying input-output representations (simpler to calculate) versus state-space models (more useful for advanced control design); - Frequency Domain Techniques: It explores how frequency response data can be used to identify LPV models, a traditional method in aerospace engineering; - Basis Function Selection: The book addresses the critical challenge of choosing the right mathematical "basis functions" to describe how parameters vary, ensuring the model remains accurate across the entire operating range. Practical Applications: The methods described are essential for industries dealing with "varying-regime" operations: - Aerospace: Modelling flight dynamics across different Mach numbers and altitudes; - Automotive: Designing active suspension or engine control systems that adapt to vehicle speed; - Process Control: Managing industrial plants where the chemical properties of a product change during the manufacturing cycle. The book is a collaborative effort by international experts, including Paulo Lopes dos Santos and Daniel E. Rivera, combining academic rigour with insights into practical implementation. It serves as a high-level reference for postgraduate students and research engineers in automatic control and signal processing.…

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw

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 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 killarneybooks, Inagh, Clare, Ireland, 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.
