In recent decades, a comprehensive new framework for the theory and design of control systems has emerged. It treats a range of significant and ubiquitous design problems more effectively than the conventional framework. Control Systems Design brings together contributions from the originators of the new framework in which they explain, expand and revise their research work. It is divided into four parts:

- basic principles, including those of matching and inequalities with adjustments for robust matching and matching based on H-infinity methods and linear matrix inequalities;

- computational methods, including matching conditions for transient inputs and design of a sampled-data control system;

- search methods including search with simulated annealing, genetic algorithms and evaluation of the node array method;

- case studies, including applications in distillation, benchmarking critical control of magnetic levitation systems and the use of the principle of matching in cruise control.

Basic Principles.- Foundation of Control Systems Design.- Computational Methods (with Numerical Examples).- Matching Conditions for Transient Inputs.- Matching to Environment Generating Persistent Disturbances.- LMI-based Design.- Design of a Sampled-data Control System.- Search Methods (with Numerical Tests).- A Numerical Evaluation of the Node Array Method.- A Simulated Annealing Inequalities Solver.- Multi-objective Genetic Algorithms for the Method of Inequalities.- Case Studies.- Design of Multivariable Industrial Control Systems by the Method of Inequalities.- Multi-objective Control using the Principle of Inequalities.- A MoI Based on ?? Theory — with a Case Study.- Critical Control of the Suspension for a Maglev Transport System.- Critical Control of Building under Seismic Disturbance.- Design of a Hard Disk Drive System.- Two Studies of Robust Matching.
Presents a new way of doing control systems design more widely effective – in critical systems, for example – than the standard methods used before Gives the reader the complete framework from basic principles to real-world applications in one place for the first time
