Chi-Tsong aneA\n extensive revision of the author's highly successful text, this third edition of Linear System Theory
and Design has been made more accessible to students from all related backgrounds. After introducing
the fundamental properties of linear systems, the text discusses design using state equations and transfer
functions. In state-space design, Lyapunov equations are used extensively to design state feedback
and state estimators. In the discussion of transfer-function design, pole placement, model matching, and
their applications in tracking and disturbance rejection are covered. Both one- and two-degree-of-
freedom configurations are used. All designs can be accomplished by solving sets of linear algebraic
‘equations,
The two main objectives of the text are to:
+ use simple and efficient methods to develop results and design procedures
+ enable students to employ the results to carry out design
A\1t results in this new edition are developed for numerical computation and illustrated using MATLAB,
with an emphasis on the ideas behind the computation and interpretation of results. This book develops
all theorems and results in a logical way so that readers can gain an intuitive understanding of the theo-
ems. This revised edition begins with the time-invariant case and extends through the time-varying case.
Italso starts with single-input single-output design and extends to multi-input multi
nutput design. Strik-
ing a balance between theory and applications, Linear System Theory and Design, 3/e, is ideal for use in
advanced undergraduate/first-year graduate courses in linear systems arid multivariable system design in
electrical, mechanical, chemical, and aeronautical engineering departments. It assumes a working know!-
edge of linear algebra and the Laplace transform and an elementary knowledge of differential equations.
