This book provides the mathematical foundations needed for designing practical controllers for linear time-invariant systems. The authors accomplish this by incorporating intentional time delays into measurements with the goal of achieving anticipation capabilities, reduction in noise sensitivity, and a fast response. The benefits of these types of delay-based controllers have long been recognized, but designing them based on an analytical approach became possible only recently.Design of Delay-Based Controllers for Linear Time-Invariant Systems provides a thorough survey of the field and the details of the analytical approaches needed to design delay-based controllers. In addition, readers will find accessible mathematical tools and self-contained proofs for rigorous analysis, numerous examples and comprehensive computational algorithms to motivate the results, and experiments on single-input single-output systems and multi-agent systems using real-world control applications to illustrate the benefits of intentionally inducing delays in control loops.
