Overview
- Teaches students the extent and nature of widespread time-delay-related problems in control and helps them to find solutions
- Single source for PID-DTC and MPC approaches to dead-time problems gives easier access to both types of scheme and shows how they can reinforce each other
- Downloadable MATLAB® code makes the examples and ideas portrayed in the text more convenient to teach and simpler to learn
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Advanced Textbooks in Control and Signal Processing (C&SP)

Reviews
From the reviews:
This treatment is a welcome addition to the literature, especially for those who are interested in learning the prevailing methods and practices of process control. The authors have made a commendable effort to keep the required background to a minimum. Indeed, anyone with a background in linear systems and discrete-time systems from a typical engineering curriculum should be able to follow this book.
The book contains a generous number of practical examples. For most methods discussed, Matlab codes are also given. Heuristic reasoning and simulation illustrations are often used to motivate critical ideas. Many practical issues are also discussed. These features make the book especially appealing to thos with an interst in immediate application.
The material is well organized and nicely presented. The editorial quality is high with very few mistakes for a first edition. My only complaint is the authors' tendency in a few places to use a sequence of two letters such as na, to represent a single variable, which is inconsistent with the practice in most parts of the book, where the more traditional form of one letter with subscript, such as na, is used. Overall, this book is a pleasure to read for both beginners and experts. The book is suitable as a textbook for a graduate level course or as a reference for practicing engineers. The first eight chapters can be considered as a textbook for a final year undergraduate course.
