This book is designed to be used as a text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in process control, as well as a reference for the practicing control engineer. The mathematical prerequisites consist of introductory undergraduate process control material, elementary matrix algebra and an introduction to differential equations. The standard undergraduate chemical engineering curriculum usually provides the necessary background. The book aims to provide a broad coverage of applied modern control theory. Although only one or two sections may be devoted to theoretical subjects upon which entire books have been written, the goal is to provide the process control engineer with a synopsis of the theory, a clear exposition of the most useful design techniques and example problems to demonstrate the key features of the computational algorithms. Numerous references are provided so that the interested reader may delve more deeply into the mathematical theory or seek further illustrative examples.
