Summary

Based upon the popular Robust and Optimal Control

by Zhou, et al. (PH, 1996), this book offers a streamlined

approach to robust control that reflects the most recent

topics and developments in the field.


Features coverage of state-of-the-art topics, including...

  • Gap metric.
  • V-gap metric.
  • Model validation.
  • Real mu.

Offers the essentials of both robust and Hà control suitable for a graduate course or self-study.

Adopts a self-contained approach, including detailed proof and development of each topic.

Incorporates MATLAB tools--accompanied by step-by-step illustrations

--throughout the book to execute computations.

Supports discussions with numerous diagrams and figures.

Guides readers through a wealth of worked examples depicting step-by-step development.

Provides highlights of key results at the beginning of the book.

Constructs a strong pedagogical framework in each chapter, including...

  • Guidelines for selecting topics.
  • Chapter highlights.
  • Lists of key terms and symbols.
  • End-of-chapter notes.
  • Exercises.

Features more than 50 illustrative examples, 95 figures, and 150 exercises and problems.
