Description:
This book is intended for use in a second graduate course in modern control
theory. A background in the state-variable representation of systems is assumed.
Matrix manipulations are the basic mathematical vehicle and, for those whose
memory needs refreshing, Appendix A provides a short review.
The book is also intended as a reference. Numerous tables make it easy to find
the equations needed to implement optimal controllers for practical applications.
Our interactions with nature can be divided into two categories: observation
and action. While observing, we process data from an essentially uncooperative
universe to obtain knowledge. Based on this knowledge, we act to achieve our
goals. This book emphasizes the control of systems assuming perfect and complete knowledge. The dual problem of estimating the state of our surroundings is
briefly studied in Chapter 9. A rigorous course in optimal estimation is required
to conscientiously complete the picture begun in this text.     Our intention is to present optimal control theory in a clear and direct fashion.
This goal naturally obscures the more subtle points and unanswered questions
scattered throughout the field of modern system theory. What appears here as
a completed picture is in actuality a growing body of knowledge that can be
interpreted from several points of view and that takes on different personalities
as new research is completed.
We have tried to show with many examples that computer simulations of
optimal controllers are easy to implement and are an essential part of gaining
an intuitive feel for the equations. Students should be able to write simple pro-
grams as they progress through the book, to convince themselves that they have
confidence in the theory and understand its practical implications.
Relationships to classical control theory have been pointed out, and a root-
locus approach to steady-state controller design is included. Chapter 9 presents some multivariable classical design techniques. A chapter on optimal control of
polynomial systems is included to provide a background for further study in
the field of adaptive control. A chapter on robust control is also included to
expose the reader to this important area. A chapter on differential games shows
how to extend the optimality concepts in the book to multiplayer optimization in
interacting teams.
Optimal control relies on solving the matrix design equations developed in the
book. These equations can be complicated, and exact solution of the Hamilton-
Jacobi equations for nonlinear systems may not be possible. The last chapter,
on optimal adaptive control, gives practical methods for solving these matrix
design equations. Algorithms are given for finding approximate solutions online
in real-time using adaptive learning techniques based on data measured along the
system trajectories.
The first author wants to thank his teachers: J. B. Pearson, who gave him the
initial excitement and passion for the field; E. W. Kamen, who tried to teach him
persistence and attention to detail; B. L. Stevens, who forced him to consider
applications to real situations; R. W. Newcomb, who gave him self-confidence;
and A. H. Haddad, who showed him the big picture and the humor behind it all.
We owe our main thanks to our students, who force us daily to take the work
seriously and become a part of it.
