Practitioner Tripathi explains the state-variable approach, which
has several significant advantages over the transfer function, including
direct time-domain elements suitable for digital computer computations,
applicability to a range of systems, easier solutions and suitability
for optimal performance projects. Tripathi's topics include the
state-variable analysis of continuous-time systems, linear
time-invariant and time-invariant analysis, eigenvalues and
eigenvectors, analysis of discrete-time systems (with attention to the
z-transform), stability analysis of nonlinear systems, optimal control
and adaptive control, mathematical derivations and modeling, the Gilbert
test, closed-loop systems, and Lyapunov's method. Includes answers
to selected exercises and an appendix with a useful table on Laplace and
z-transform pairs. This is designed as a text for a short course on
control systems or as a self-study guide for professional engineers.
