Optimal Networked Control Systems with MATLAB(R) discusses optimal controller design in discrete time for networked control systems (NCS). The authors apply several powerful modern control techniques in discrete time to the design of intelligent controllers for such NCS. Detailed derivations, rigorous stability proofs, computer simulation examples, and downloadable MATLAB(R) codes are included for each case.
The book begins by providing background on NCS, networked imperfections, dynamical systems, stability theory, and stochastic optimal adaptive controllers in discrete time for linear and nonlinear systems. It lays the foundation for reinforcement learning-based optimal adaptive controller use for finite and infinite horizons. The text then:
An ideal reference for graduate students, university researchers, and practicing engineers, Optimal Networked Control Systems with MATLAB(R) instills a solid understanding of neural network controllers and how to build them.
