Mono- and Multivariable Control and Estimation: Linear, Quadratic and LMI Methods

This book presents the various design methods of a state—feedback control law and of an observer. The considered systems are of continuous—time and of discrete—time nature, monovariable or multivariable, the last ones being of main consideration. Three different approaches are described: • Linear design methods, with an emphasis on decoupling strategies, and a general formula for multivariable controller or observer design; • Quadratic optimization methods: Linear Quadratic Control (LQC), o...
