This research
monograph presents a recently developed novel methodology for analysis and
control of time-delay systems. Time-delays frequently occur in engineering and
science. Such time-delays can cause problems (e.g. instability) and limit the
achievable performance of control systems. This concise and self-contained volume uses the Lambert W
function to obtain solutions to time-delay systems represented by delay
differential equations. Subsequently, the solutions are used to analyze
essential system properties and to design controllers precisely and effectively.
A supplementary web
site (see link below) provides problems and software, for self-study, or to
supplement the research monograph for those wishing to use it as a textbook.
