A Unified Algebraic Approach To Control Design

by Robert E. Skelton, T. Iwasaki, K. Grigoriadis

Overview

This text deals with the most fundamental deficiency of modern theory control: the lack of an easily applicable method for the design of low order controllers. It shows that solutions to many different problems in control all reduce to the same linear algebra problem. It employs matrix equalities and matrix inequalities in the solutions of fixed order control and also provides computational algorithms.
