| The book emphasizes the practical aspects
in designing feedback control systems in which the plant may be nonminimum-phase, unstable and also highly uncertain. Early anticipation and correct interpretation of these effects can considerably shorten the design process. The plant uncertainty property is closely related to what is today called 'robustness'. A major task in automatic control is to design well-behaved feedback controlled systems which remain 'robust' and satisfy formally defined quantitative performances for the entire
uncertainty region of the plant. 'Classical' and 'modern' design approaches for uncertain plants are explained side-by-side and used to solve similar design examples. This allows the reader to compare results obtained by both approaches. |

It presents frequency-domain control design concepts with strong emphasis on the QFT technique. In addition, with each such concept, the book describes how it is treated in modern control, namely, the Hoo technique. This integration makes this
book beneficial to those interested in QFT as well as classical control types interested in the 'mystery' of modern control." -- Dr. Yossi Chait, International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, 2002: 12:955-956 |
