Provides a thorough introduction to the properties of linear, time-invariant models of dynamical systems, as required for further work in feedback control system design, power system design and analysis, communications, signal processing, robotics, and simulation. The state-space model is used throughout, since it is a fundamental conceptual tool, although the background analysis applies to other models. Modelling and stability of general nonlinear systems is introduced, with the detailed analysis concentrating on LTI systems. | The Essentials of Linear State-Space Systems by J.
