About this book

Descriptor linear systems theory is an important part in the general field of control systems theory, and has attracted much attention in the last two decades. In spite of the fact that descriptor linear systems theory has been a topic very rich in content, there have been only a few books on this topic. This book provides a systematic introduction to the theory of continuous-time descriptor linear systems and aims to provide a relatively systematic introduction to the basic results in descriptor linear systems theory. The clear representation of materials and a large number of examples make this book easy to understand by a large audience. General readers will find in this book a comprehensive introduction to the theory of descriptive linear systems. Researchers will find a comprehensive description of the most recent results in this theory and students will find a good introduction to some important problems in linear systems theory.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“This book deals with the analysis and design of descriptor linear systems, which are no doubt of interest to practitioners and theoreticians. … The authors present 11 chapters on continuous-time descriptor linear systems. They cite 319 representative references related to the main topics of descriptor systems. All chapters end with some notes and references, useful for the reader’s understanding of this book, which contains almost 500 pages. … This book ends with three useful appendices, which detail some basic mathematical results.” (Marco Henrique Terra, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 m)
