  2. Hans-Wilhelm Knobloch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans-Wilhelm_Knobloch

    Hans-Wilhelm Knobloch (18 March 1927, in Schmalkalden – 10 July 2019) was a German mathematician, specializing in dynamical systems and control theory.Although the field of mathematical systems and control theory was already well-established in several other countries, Hans-Wilhelm Knobloch and Diederich Hinrichsen were the two mathematicians of most importance in establishing this field in ...

  3. Control engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_engineering

    Control systems play a critical role in space flight.. Control engineering, also known as control systems engineering and, in some European countries, automation engineering, is an engineering discipline that deals with control systems, applying control theory to design equipment and systems with desired behaviors in control environments. [1]

  4. Control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_system

    A control system manages, commands, directs, or regulates the behavior of other devices or systems using control loops. It can range from a single home heating controller using a thermostat controlling a domestic boiler to large industrial control systems which are used for controlling processes or machines.

  5. Control theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_theory

    Every control system must guarantee first the stability of the closed-loop behavior. For linear systems, this can be obtained by directly placing the poles. Nonlinear control systems use specific theories (normally based on Aleksandr Lyapunov's Theory) to ensure stability without regard to the inner dynamics of the system. The possibility to ...

  6. Classical control theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_control_theory

    The usual objective of control theory is to control a system, often called the plant, so its output follows a desired control signal, called the reference, which may be a fixed or changing value. To do this a controller is designed, which monitors the output and compares it with the reference.

  7. Kalman decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalman_decomposition

    In control theory, a Kalman decomposition provides a mathematical means to convert a representation of any linear time-invariant (LTI) control system to a form in which the system can be decomposed into a standard form which makes clear the observable and controllable components of the system.

  8. Root locus analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_locus_analysis

    Spirule. In control theory and stability theory, root locus analysis is a graphical method for examining how the roots of a system change with variation of a certain system parameter, commonly a gain within a feedback system.

  9. List of types of systems theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_types_of_systems...

    This list of types of systems theory gives an overview of different types of systems theory, which are mentioned in scientific book titles or articles. [1] The following more than 40 types of systems theory are all explicitly named systems theory and represent a unique conceptual framework in a specific field of science .
