Filling a gap in the literature, this book is a presentation of recent results in the field of PID controllers, including their design, analysis, and synthesis. Emphasis is placed on the efficient computation of the entire set of PID controllers achieving stability and various performance specifications, which is important for the development of future software design packages, as well as further capabilities such as adaptive PID design and online implementation.

The results presented here are timely given the resurgence of interest in PID controllers and will find widespread application, specifically in the development of computationally efficient tools for PID controller design and analysis. Serving as a catalyst to bridge the theory--practice gap in the control field as well as the classical--modern gap, this monograph is an excellent resource for control, electrical, chemical, and mechanical engineers, as well as researchers in the field of PID controllers.

The PID controller operates the majority of modern control systems and has applications in many industries Improvement in PID design methodology one focus of this book has the potential to have a significant engineering and economic impact There are very few existing results on PID controller synthesis; this book fills a gap in the literature by presenting recent and original results in design and analysis, as well as synthesis
