Title: Linear Systems and Optimal Control
Description: This book offers a self-contained, elementary and yet rigorous treatment of linear system theory and optimal control theory. Fundamental topics within this area are considered, first in the continuous-time and then in the discrete-time setting. Both time-varying and time-invariant cases are investigated. The approach is quite standard but a number of new results are also included, as are some brief applications. It provides a firm basis for further study and should be useful to all those interested in the rapidly developing subjects of systems engineering, optimal control theory and signal processing.
Subjects: Physical geography, Economics, Systems theory, Engineering, Management information systems, Mathematics, Mathematical optimization, Physics, Control theory, System theory, Control Systems Theory, Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control; Optimization, Geophysics/Geodesy, Business Information Systems, Complexity
