João Miranda Lemos, coordenador do grupo de investigação “Control of Dynamical Systems” (CSD) no INESC-ID, editou um novo livro do IST PRESS, intitulado, “Controlo no Espaço de Estados”. Este livro foi escrito para suportar um segundo curso de Controlo baseado no modelo de estado, mas com um pouquinho de criatividade podemos incluir ( da maneira mais séria) muitos exemplos algo inesperados. O livro está organizado em quatro partes, que correspondem a grandes temas da engenharia dos sistemas de controlo: • Modelo de estado de sistemas lineares;• Controlo por realimentação linear de variáveis de estado• Controlo de sistemas não lineares• Controlo ótimo. http://istpress.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/node/498
