Clear, careful treatment of basic linear system theory.
Modular organization for flexibility.
Compact treatments of polynomial fraction descriptions and the geometric theory.
Contains results not previously available in text form, including realization theory, noninteracting control, and stabilization results for both continuous-time and discrete-time time-varying linear systems.
Over 400 exercises.
Notes section in each chapter provides guides to further study.
Ten new chapters on discrete-time, time-varying linear systems, the most complete, basic treatment available.
Theme physical examples throughout the material, plus additional theoretical examples.
More drill exercises.
Expanded treatment of the time-invariant case.
Material on time-varying, reduced-dimension observers.
Geometric treatment of time-invariant canonical structure theorem.
Many improvements to the continuous-time presentation.
