Linear Systems E-bok

"...A comprehensive, complete and clear exposition that serves as an excellent foundation for more advanced topics in system theory and control." - IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control"[The authors] have contributed an expertly written and high quality textbook...and are to be congratulated.... Because of its mathematical sophistication and completeness the present book is highly recommended for use, both as a textbook as well as a reference." - AutomaticaLinear systems theory plays a broad and fundamental role in electrical, mechanical, chemical and aerospace engineering, communications, and signal processing. A thorough introduction to systems theory with emphasis on control is presented in this self-contained textbook. The book examines the fundamental properties that govern the behavior of systems by developing their mathematical descriptions. Linear time-invariant, time-varying, continuous-time, and discrete-time systems are covered. Rigorous development of classic and contemporary topics in linear systems, as well as extensive coverage of stability and polynomial matrix/fractional representation, provide the necessary foundation for further study of systems and control. Linear Systems is written as a textbook for a challenging one-semester graduate course; a solutions manual is available to instructors upon adoption of the text. The book s flexible coverage and self-contained presentation also make it an excellent reference guide or self-study manual. For a treatment of linear systems that focuses primarily on the time-invariant case using streamlined presentation of the material with less formal and more intuitive proofs, see the authors companion book entitled A Linear Systems Primer.
