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.
