Process Control: The Passive Systems Approach (Advances in Industrial Control)

Passivity and associated stability conditions form one of the cornerstones in control theory and have begun to be applied in process control. In this book, passivity-based developments in all areas of control theory are addressed systematically for the first time. The emphasis is placed on real results that add insight. Case studies illustrate applications in all the main chapters. MATLAB® routines and a library of functions that implement the methods developed in the book can be downloaded from springer.com.
