Control systems design methodologies have long suffered the traditional and myopic dichotomy between time and frequency domain approaches, each of them being specialized to cope with only scarcely overlapping performance requirements. This book is aimed at bridging the two approaches by presenting design methodologies based on the minimization of a norm (H2/H() of a suitable transfer function. A distinctive feature of these techniques is the fact that they do not create only one solution to the design problem, instead they provide a whole set of admissible solutions which satisfy a constraint on the maximum deterioration of the performance index.A systematic book on this topic is long overdue. Self-contained and practical in its approach, Control Theory and Design enables the reader to use the relevant techniques in various real-life applications. The text covers the basic facts of robustcontrol and theory as well as more recent achievements, such as robust stability and robust performance in presence of parameter uncertainties. It features a new perspective on classical LQC results and further sections on robust synthesis, nonclassicaloptimization problems, and analysis and synthesis of uncertain systems.Control Theory and Design is essential reading for graduates and those entering the research field. The required mathematical background is provided so that the book is also suitable for undergraduate students with some knowledge of basic systemsand control.- Provides a self-contained manual for learning control systems and design- Contains a clear and concise presentation of the technical background needed- Includes a new perspective of classical LQG results- Contains updated results and novel contributions to nonstandard RH2/RH infinity symbol problems- Covers all the theory from the basic to the more advanced issues

This book is entirely devoted to sampled-data control systems analysis and design from a new point of view, which has at its core a mathematical tool named Differential Linear Matrix Inequality - DLMI, a natural generalization of Linear Matrix Inequality - LMI, that had an important and deep impact on systems and control theory almost thirty years ago. It lasts until now. It is shown that the DLMI is well adapted to deal with the important class of sampled-data control systems in both theoretical and numerical contexts. All design conditions are expressed by convex programming problems, including when robustness against parameter uncertainty is assessed and imposed through state feedback control.Special attention is given to filter, dynamic output feedback and model predictive control design, as well as nonlinear systems of Lur’e class and Markov jump linear systems. The subject is treated with mathematical rigor, at the same time, trying to keep the reading agreeable and fruitful for colleagues and students. To this respect, the book contains together with the theoretical developments, many solved illustrative examples and the formulation of some open problems that could be faced and hopefully solved by interested readers.
