About The Book

Robust Control of Dynamical Systems by Michael Green is a comprehensive and highly regarded textbook designed for students and control engineers interested in the field of robust control. This book addresses recent advancements in robust control that have significantly advanced the field in recent decades, bringing these developments together in a single, in-depth resource.

Starting with an introductory chapter, the text covers key topics such as multivariable frequency response design, signals and systems, and linear fractional transformations, all of which play a crucial role in modern control systems. The book then delves into control system synthesis theory, beginning with an introduction to the linear quadratic Gaussian problem and progressing to advanced topics like full-information H-infinity controller synthesis, the H-infinity filter, and the H-infinity generalized regulator problem.

The final chapters focus on model reduction techniques, including truncation, optimal model reduction, and the four-block problem, while the book concludes with practical design case studies. The treatment is detailed and assumes familiarity with linear algebra, matrix theory, linear differential equations, classical control theory, and linear systems theory.

This text is ideal for students studying control systems and engineers looking for a deep understanding of robust control methodologies. With numerous examples and a systematic approach, Robust Control of Dynamical Systems provides a clear path through complex topics and serves as a key reference for anyone working in modern control engineering.
