Hitay Özbay, associate provost and professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, has published a new book, “Frequency Domain Techniques for H∞ Control of Distributed Parameter Systems,” with coauthors Suat Gümüşsoy, Kenji Kashima and Yutaka Yamamoto.
The publisher, SIAM, offers the following description of the contents:
“The book presents new computational tools for the H∞ control of distributed parameter systems in which transfer functions are considered as input-output descriptions for the plants to be controlled. The emphasis is on the computation of the controller parameters and reliable implementation. The authors present recent studies showing that the simplified skew Toeplitz method is applicable to a wide class of systems, supply detailed examples from systems with time delays and various engineering applications, and discuss reliable implementation of the controller, complemented by software based on MATLAB.”
Parts of this book covering various topics in robust control of distributed parameter systems and time-delay systems are already being used as a reference in advanced graduate courses at The Ohio State University in the USA and Beihang University in China as well as at Bilkent.
