Inhaltsangabe

While there are many books on advanced control for specialists, there are few that present these topics for nonspecialists. Assuming only a basic knowledge of automatic control and signals and systems, Optimal and Robust Control: Advanced Topics with MATLAB® offers a straightforward, self-contained handbook of advanced topics and tools in automatic control.

Techniques for Controlling System Performance in the Presence of Uncertainty

The book deals with advanced automatic control techniques, paying particular attention to robustness―the ability to guarantee stability in the presence of uncertainty. It explains advanced techniques for handling uncertainty and optimizing the control loop. It also details analytical strategies for obtaining reduced order models. The authors then propose using the Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI) technique as a unifying tool to solve many types of advanced control problems.

Topics covered include:

• LQR and H-infinity approaches
• Kalman and singular value decomposition
• Open-loop balancing and reduced order models
• Closed-loop balancing
• Passive systems and bounded-real systems
• Criteria for stability control

This easy-to-read text presents the essential theoretical background and provides numerous examples and MATLAB exercises to help the reader efficiently acquire new skills. Written for electrical, electronic, computer science, space, and automation engineers interested in automatic control, this book can also be used for self-study or for a one-semester course in robust control.

Luigi Fortuna is a Full Professor of System Theory at the University of Catania, Italy. He was the coordinator of the courses in electronic engineering and Head of the Dipartimento di Ingegneria Elettrica Elettronica e dei Sistemi (DIEES). Since 2005, he has been the Dean of the Engineering Faculty. He currently teaches complex adaptive systems and robust control. He has published more than 450 technical papers and is the coauthor of ten scientific books. His scientific interests include robust control, nonlinear science and complexity, chaos, cellular neural networks, soft-computing strategies for control and robotics, micronanosensor and smart devices for control, and nanocellular neural networks modeling. Dr. Fortuna is an IEEE Fellow.

Mattia Frasca received his PhD in Electronics and Automation Engineering in 2003, at the University of Catania, Italy. Currently, he is a research associate at the University of Catania, where he also teaches systems theory. His scientific interests include robust control, nonlinear systems and chaos, cellular neural networks, complex systems, and bio-inspired robotics. He is involved in many research projects and collaborations with industries and academic centers. He is also a referee for many international journals and conferences. Dr. Frasca was on the organizing committee of the 10th Experimental Chaos Conference and was co-chair of the 4th International Conference on Physics and Control. He is the coauthor of three research monographs, has published more than 150 papers in refereed international journals and international conference proceedings, and is the coauthor of two international patents. He is also a Senior Member of IEEE.
