Computational Aspects of Linear Control

The main objective of this volume is to create a bridge between control theory and its numerical analysis aspects. The book combines an exposition of linear control theory and the corresponding modern relevant computational techniques such as orthogonal polynomials, Pade approximation, numerical linear algebra, and some topics on nonlinear differential equations. It can be considered as an introduction to control theory for numerical analysts looking for a wide area of applications and as an introduction to recent numerical methods for control specialists.
