Introduction to state-space methods covers feedback control; state-space representation of dynamic systems and dynamics of linear systems; frequency-domain analysis; controllability and observability; and shaping the dynamic response. Additional subjects encompass linear observers; compensator design by the separation principle; linear, quadratic optimum control; random processes; and Kalman filters. 1986 edition. Unabridged republication of the edition published by McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York, 1986.
Optimal Control Theory: An Introduction by Donald E. Kirk Upper-level undergraduate text introduces aspects of optimal control theory: dynamic programming, Pontryagin's minimum principle, and numerical techniques for trajectory optimization. Numerous figures, tables. Solution guide available upon request. 1970 edition.
Optimal Control and Estimation by Robert F. Stengel Graduate-level text provides introduction to optimal control theory for stochastic systems, emphasizing application of basic concepts to real problems.
Digital Filters by Richard W. Hamming Introductory text examines role of digital filtering in many applications, particularly computers. Focus on linear signal processing; some consideration of roundoff effects, Kalman filters. Only calculus, some statistics required.
Linear System Theory: The State Space Approach by Lotfi A. Zadeh, Charles A. Desoer Written by two pioneers in the field, this exploration of the state space approach focuses on problems of stability and control, plus connections between this approach and classical techniques. 1963 edition.
