Linear System Theory: The State Space Approach (Dover Civil and Mechanical Engineering) by Lotfi A. Zadeh (PDF)

Description

The state space approach is widely used in systems ranging from industrial robots to space guidance control. This landmark in the technique’s development and applications was written by two pioneers in the field, Lotfi A. Zadeh and Charles A. Desoer, who teach in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley.Starting with a self-contained introduction to system theory, the authors explain basic concepts, presenting each idea within a carefully integrated framework of numerous illustrative examples. Most of the text concerns the application of the state space approach to systems described by differential equations. Problems of stability and controllability receive particular attention, and connections between the state space approach and classical techniques are highlighted. The properties of transfer functions are covered in separate chapters. Extensive appendixes feature complete and self-contained expositions of delta-functions and distributions, the Laplace and Fourier transform theory, the theory of infinite dimensional linear vector spaces, and functions of a matrix.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I can’t comment on the prior reviews given here except to say the my experience with the text is so orthogonal the these opinions that I though I should write a review. If you like your books terse, mathematically precise, rigorous, and without anything resembling hand holding or coaching then by all means this is your book. I have to disagree that there is minimal mathematical preparation required. I would suggest a very rigorous linear algebra background and a working knowledge of state space differential eqn before you try this one. If you are an academic who wants hair splitting precise buildup of the theory then its for you. If you just start grad school and taking first level linear system class I have recommend against this book. Brogan is must have for starters but it could use a little more mathematical rigor and depth. Throw these two books into a blender and you just might have the ideal one. Someone please write a rigorous linear system text that is readable as a stand alone book please. I suggest Brogan update his.

⭐This “edition is an unabridged republication of the 1979 reprint of the … 1963 edition” Copyright renewed by the authors in 1991.. 625 pages (softback). Font appears old, but it very readable.Pretty rigorous treatment of a subject that has remained relevant 60 years later. I believe it is one of the first texts that mentions the impact of data processing. Because of this, it presents State Space concepts first, before applying them to linear and nonlinear diffy Q’s. 4 appendices provide necessary background, as do suggested readings for each section. For the price I recommend it highly as it lends a nice perspective on subject that is very relevant today.

⭐I bought this book thinking it would be a in depth (but standard) coverage of state space techniques. Not quite! It is a very deep and detailed exposition on system theory from a fundamental and abstract point of view. The book requires a mature view on linear dynamical systems and state space methods and still it will prove to be heavy-going for most readers. If you are after an advanced book on state space methods, this is NOT the book.

⭐In contrast of that comments a reader in review of the excellent book “Linear System Theory” by C. T. Chen, a book of linear systems theory five star exists, and this is the book! Reference, textbook, as much for undergraduate as for graduate, definitively, the best!

⭐EXCELLENT

⭐The book is not written well.All mathematical concepts were explained in way to confuse. Mathematical symbols too are different from conventional.Language is also not lucid.It has not approached the topic well.
