Uncertain Models and Robust Control [Paperback]

This coherent introduction to the theory and methods of robust control system design clarifies and unifies the presentation of significant derivations and proofs. The book contains a thorough treatment of important material of uncertainties and robust control otherwise scattered throughout the literature.
