Multivariable Feedback Control: Analysis and Design, Second Edition by Sigurd Skogestad is a textbook focused on the analysis and design of robust multivariable control systems. This handbook emphasizes practical aspects of feedback control and provides insight into the opportunities and limitations of these techniques.
Analysis and design of multivariable control systems
This second, fully revised edition includes the latest developments in feedback control. For example, there is a new chapter on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), current insights into performance limitations caused by RHP poles and zeros, and new rules for IMC tuning of PID controllers. In addition, the book covers topics such as self-optimizing control, unstable systems, and the integration of integral action in LQG controllers. Practical examples and exercises with Matlab and the Robust Control Toolbox support the theory.
