Download or read book Mono and Multivariable Control and Estimation written by Eric Ostertag and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-01-03 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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), optimal Kalman filtering, Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control; • Linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) to solve linear and quadratic problems. The duality between control and observation is taken to advantage and extended up to the mathematical domain. A large number of exercises, all given with their detailed solutions, mostly obtained with MATLAB, reinforce and exemplify the practical orientation of this book. The programs, created by the author for their solving, are available on the Internet sites of Springer and of MathWorks for downloading. This book is targeted at students of Engineering Schools or Universities, at the Master’s level, at engineers desiring to design and implement innovative control methods, and at researchers.

Download or read book Optimization for Control Observation and Safety written by Guillermo Valencia-Palomo and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematical optimization is the selection of the best element in a set with respect to a given criterion. Optimization has become one of the most used tools in control theory to compute control laws, adjust parameters (tuning), estimate states, fit model parameters, find conditions in order to fulfill a given closed-loop property, among others. Optimization also plays an important role in the design of fault detection and isolation systems to prevent safety hazards and production losses that require the detection and identification of faults, as early as possible to minimize their impacts by implementing real-time fault detection and fault-tolerant systems. Recently, it has been proven that many optimization problems with convex objective functions and linear matrix inequality (LMI) constraints can be solved easily and efficiently using existing software, which increases the flexibility and applicability of the control algorithms. Therefore, real-world control systems need to comply with several conditions and constraints that have to be taken into account in the problem formulation, which represents a challenge in the application of the optimization algorithms. This book offers an overview of the state-of-the-art of the most advanced optimization techniques and their applications in control engineering.

Download or read book Multivariable Control Systems written by M. V. Meerov and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 872 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A characteristic feature of modern industrial and production processes is that their qualitative and quantitative parameters are a function of many interdependent and interconnected variables. Some of the process variables must be maintained constant or made to vary in a manner prescribed by the characteristic features of the given process. These are the so called controlled variables of the process. Their number is not fixed, and some fairly complex systems may have but a single controlled variable. Such single variable systems are treated very extensively in the current literature on automatic control theory. The present book, on the other hand, is devoted to automatic control systems with many controlled variables (at least more than one). Examples abound of systems with numerous controlled variables, and the modern tendency is toward ever greater utilization of systems and plants of this kind. We call them multivariable control systems (MCS).

The papers describe the latest results in parametric understanding, H8 uncertainty, l1 optical control, and Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT). The book is the first to bring together all the diverse points of view addressing the robust control problem and should strongly influence development in the robust control field for years to come. For this reason, control theorists, engineers, and applied mathematicians should consider it a crucial acquisition for their libraries.
