The book represents a modern treatment of classical control theory and application concepts. Theoretically, it is based on the state-space approach, where the main concepts have been derived using only the knowledge from a first course in linear algebra. Practically, it is based on the MATLAB package for computer-aided control system design, so that the presentation of the design techniques is simplified. The inclusion of MATLAB allows deeper insights into the dynamical behaviour of real physical control systems, which are quite often of high dimensions. Continuous-time and discrete-time control systems are treated simultaneously with a slight emphasis on the continous-time systems, especially in the area of controller design.

Modern Control Engineering focuses on the methodologies, principles, approaches, and technologies employed in modern control engineering, including dynamic programming, boundary iterations, and linear state equations. The publication fist ponders on state representation of dynamical systems and finite dimensional optimization. Discussions focus on optimal control of dynamical discrete-time systems, parameterization of dynamical control problems, conjugate direction methods, convexity and sufficiency, linear state equations, transition matrix, and stability of discrete-time linear systems. The text then tackles infinite dimensional optimization, including computations with inequality constraints, gradient method in function space, quasilinearization, computation of optimal control-direct and indirect methods, and boundary iterations. The book takes a look at dynamic programming and introductory stochastic estimation and control. Topics include deterministic multivariable observers, stochastic feedback control, stochastic linear-quadratic control problem, general calculation of optimal control by dynamic programming, and results for linear multivariable digital control systems. The publication is a dependable reference material for engineers and researchers wanting to explore modern control engineering.

The fundamentals as well as modern approaches of control systems have been discussed in this book. Application of control theory to systems to control their behavior is known as control systems engineering. In this engineering discipline, input actuators collect the feedback generated by the output sensors to control behavior of the system under observation. The ever growing need of advanced technology is the reason that has fueled the research in the field of control systems in recent times. This book is ideal for the readers who wish to develop a better understanding of the modern applications of control systems. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.

The book is divided into ten chapters with the first chapter being a very brief introduction to classical control theory. The second chapter gives the classical design techniques using Bode plots and root locus technique. Analysis of discrete time systems is presented in Chapter 3 using z-transforms. Chapter 4, 5 and 6 deal with state space modelling, solution of state equation and design of control systems using state space model with a glimpse on the design of observers, and state feed back controller. Chapter 7 and 8 deal with nonlinear systems, the former on phase plane analysis and the latter on describing function method. Even though both these methods were developed long time back, these methods are still useful to get some insight into the behaviour of nonlinear systems. Chapter 9 discusses in depth the Lyapunov's method for stability analysis of systems and Chapter 10 is a brief introduction to concepts and methods of optimal control. Several worked examples and a summary-'points to remember' have been added in each chapter. A set of multiple choice questions has been added at the end of the book which is useful for students in the preparation of objective type tests. An introduction to the MATLAB software package is given in Appendix. Contents Review of Classical Control Theory Conventional controller and classical design Discrete data control systems State space analysis of systems Time domain analysis in state space Design of state feedback controllers and observers Nonlinear systems and phase plane analysis Describing function analysis of nonlinear systems Stability of systems Introduction to optimal control Multiple choice questions.
