Introduction to Modern Controls: with Illustrations in MATLAB and Python

By Xu Chen and Masayoshi Tomizuka

This book introduces the theory and practice of modern control systems. The emphasis is on using state-space methods to model, analyze, and control dynamic systems. Topics include state-space modeling and solutions, stability, controllability and observability, state-feedback control, observers, observer state feedback controls, least square estimation, Kalman filter, and Linear Quadratic Gaussian optimal control. These topics are discussed in both continuous- and discrete-time settings throughout the book. Perhaps unique in this book is the modernization of tools we use to illustrate controls. MATLAB and Python are the primary tools for our numerical examples. Whenever MATLAB examples appear, complementary Python codes will follow to provide results as equivalent as possible in the more nascent computation environment. Free slides, codes, and lecture recordings supplement the text.
