Features: This book systematically elaborates on the time-domain theory of linear systems primarily based on the state-space method. The book is divided into twelve chapters: Chapter 1 introduces some mathematical foundations closely related to this book; Chapter 2 introduces the mathematical description of linear systems; Chapters 3 to 5 elaborate on the analysis theory of linear systems, respectively covering motion analysis, controllability and observability analysis, and stability analysis of linear systems; Chapters 6 to 10 discuss the design theory of linear systems, respectively introducing design issues such as pole placement and eigenstructure allocation, stabilization and asymptotic tracking, linear quadratic optimal control, decoupling control, and state observers; Chapter 11 provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory of discrete linear systems; and Chapter 12 introduces the concept of robustness and several basic robust control problems. The book is well-structured, logically organized, rigorously argued, and highlights key points, emphasizing fundamental concepts, principles, and methods. In terms of content, it focuses on basic analysis and design problems while also introducing some recent advancements in linear system theory and the author's related research achievements. This book can serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate students and graduate students in automatic control and related fields at higher engineering colleges, as well as a reference for researchers, engineering professionals, and university teachers for reference or self-study.
