Time-delay Systems: Analysis And Control Using The Lambert W Function

Download or read book Time-delay Systems: Analysis And Control Using The Lambert W Function written by Patrick W Nelson and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2010-06-25 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprehensively presents a recently developed novel methodology for analysis and control of time-delay systems. Time-delays frequently occurs in engineering and science. Such time-delays can cause problems (e.g. instability) and limit the achievable performance of control systems. The 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.
