Abstract

The design of linear continuous- and discrete-time state feedback controllers is well documented in control engineering literature; see, for example, Franklin et al. (1990), Ogata (1995), Sinha (2007), and Chen (2012). The authors of this monograph have recently developed new algorithms for the design of two- and three-stage feedback controllers for both linear discrete- and continuous-time dynamic systems (Radisavljevic-Gajic and Rose 2014; Radisavljevic-Gajic 2015a, b; Radisavljevic-Gajic et al. 2015, 2017) that have been efficiently applied to two- and three-time-scale models of fuel cells (Radisavljevic-Gajic and Rose 2014; Radisavljevic-Gajic et al. 2015, 2017; Radisavljevic-Gajic and Milanovic 2016; Milanovic et al. 2017; Milanovic and Radisavljevic-Gajic 2018). In general, the results of these new multistage and multi-time-scale feedback controller design algorithms are applicable under mild conditions to almost all linear continuous- and discrete-time time-invariant linear systems.
