Systems and Control

by Stanislaw H. Zak

Published 13 February 2003
This textbok deals with modelling, analysis, and control of dynamical systems. Its objective is to familiarize students with the basics of dynamical system theory while equipping them with the tools needed for control system design. The emphasis is on design in order to show how dynamical system theory fits into practical applications. The broad scope of this book allows it to demonstrate the multidisciplinary role of dynamics and control. In particular, it presents
neural networks, fuzzy systems, and genetic algorithms, and provides a concise introducton to chaotic systems. Systems and Control covers classical methods as well as the techniques of modern control engineering such as fuzzy logic, neural networks, and genetic algorithms. No special background is
necessary to use this text beyond basic differential equations and elements of linear algebra. A free solutions manual is avaialbe for adopting lecturers. _ _ _ _ _

Instructor's Solutions Manual to Accompany Systems and Control is a supplement to Zak's main text. It contains solutions to all of the end-of-chapter problems and it is available free of charge to adopting professors.
