Introduction to mathematical control theory

by Stephen M. Barnett

This is the best account of the basic mathematical aspects of control theory. It has been brought up to date while retaining the focus on state-space methods and points of mathematical interest. The authors have written a new chapter on multivariable theory and a new appendix on Kalman filtering, added a large number of new problems, and updated all the references. This book will continue as a fundamental resource for applied mathematicians studying control theory and for control engineers and electrical and mechanical engineers pursuing mathematically oriented studies.
