Advanced Mathematics and Computational Applications in Control Systems Engineering Francisco-Ronay Lopez-Estrada

Control system engineering is a multidisciplinary discipline that applies automatic

control theory to design systems with desired behaviors in control environments.

Automatic control theory has played a vital role in the advancement of engineering and

science. It has become an essential and integral part of modern industrial and

manufacturing processes. Today, the requirements for control precision have increased,

and real systems have become more complex.

In control engineering and all other engineering disciplines, the impact of advanced

mathematical and computational methods is rapidly increasing. Advanced mathematical

methods are needed because real-world control systems need to comply with several

conditions related to product quality and safety constraints that have to be taken into

account in the problem formulation. Conversely, the increment in mathematical

complexity has an impact on the computational aspects related to numerical simulation

and practical implementation of the algorithms, where a balance must also be

maintained between implementation costs and the performance of the control system.

This book is a comprehensive set of articles reflecting recent advances in developing and

applying advanced mathematics and computational applications in control system

engineering.
