This well-known book is an introduction to the field of digital,
sampled-data control. It treats the field in depth and can be used for
courses and for self study. The second edition has been completely
revised and expanded with new results. The work now appears in two
volumes, with Volume 2 to be published in 1989. The volumes form a unit
and take the reader systematically from fundamentals to problems of real
applications. The work is directed towards students of electrical and
mechanical engineering, computer science (especially with a
specialization on automation and control engineering), and other fields
like biology, economics, space mathematics and physics. It is also
directed to engineers and scientists concerned with solving concrete
problems.
