Control of Complex Systems: Structural Constraints and Uncertainty (Communications and Control Engineering)

Control of Complex Systems: Structural Constraints and Uncertainty (Communications and Control Engineering)

by Aleksandar Zecevic (Author), Dragoslav D . Siljak (Author)

Synopsis

Control of Complex Systems: Structural Constraints and Uncertainty focuses on control design under information structure constraints, with a particular emphasis on large-scale systems. The complexity of such systems poses serious computational challenges and severely restricts the types of feedback laws that can be used in practice. This book systematically addresses the main issues, and provides a number of applications that illustrate potential design methods, most which use Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs), which have become a popular design tool over the past two decades. Authors Aleksandar I. Zecevic and Dragoslav D. Siljak use their years of experience in the control field to also:

  • Address the issues of large-scale systems as they relate to robust control and linear matrix inequalities
  • Discuss a new approach to applying standard LMI techniques to large-scale systems, combining graphic-theoretic decomposition techniques with appropriate low-rank numerical approximations and dramatically reducing the computational effort
  • Providing numerous examples and a wide variety of applications, ranging from electric power systems and nonlinear circuits to mechanical problems and dynamic Boolean networks

Control of Complex Systems: Structural Constraints and Uncertainty will appeal to practicing engineers, researchers and students working in control design and other related areas.

Media Reviews

From the reviews:

The monograph consisting of Preface, 6 Chapters, and Index is focused on control design under information structure constraints and uncertainty, with a particular emphasis on large-scale systems. ... The text is an excellent, clearly written, up-to-date authoritative reference on control of complex systems which is supplied with numerous examples and a wide variety of application studies. The monograph will appeal to graduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers acting in this challenging research area. (Lubomir Bakule, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1211, 2011)
