State variables for engineers.

Stability theory and modern optimization theory are responsible for the changes of the feedback control field in the theoretical direction. This book gives an overview of these changes and has the following chapters: 1) Time-domain techniques. 2) Classical techniques. 3) Transform techniques. 4) Matrices and linear spaces. 5) State variables and linear continuous systems. 6) State variables and linear discrete systems. 7) Introduction to stability theory and Lyapunov's second method and 8) Introduction to optimization theory.
