Applications of Algebraic Function Theory in Multivariable Control

  • Chapter
Multivariable Control

Abstract

A unified approach to multivariable Nyquist and root-locus theory is given using the tools of algebraic functions and Riemann surfaces. The basic results of this area (and a proof of the generalised Nyquist stability criterion) are included together with some recent developments. The treatment is intended to highlight the close relationship between the different concepts and techniques.
