This new edition of an authoritative text on the widely used technical software focuses on its use in robust control design. Aimed at graduate students and professionals, improvements include simplified theoretical background and a tutorial on Toolbox 3.
Prof. Gu has been involved with many industrial projects in aerospace and manufacturing and has received significant funding from EPSRC, EU and industry. He has been actively engaged in the area of coordinated control of uninhabited air vehicles, with emphasis in autonomy. He is also a major contributor to the Garteur action group on Autonomous Systems. His theoretical achievements and practical work in robust and optimal control are important in writing a book that will give valuable theoretical and practical knowledge to the readers.
Prof. Petkov has been using MATLAB® in research and education from 1984. He has significant expertise in numerical methods and programming that allows to teach the reader how to develop high performance software for solving robust control design problems.
Prof. Konstantinov has made significant contributions to numercal analysis and robust control theory and a long and rich educational experience that will help to present to the reader a solid but accessible text on robust control systems design.
