Tensor Product Model Transformation in Polytopic Model-Based Control offers a new perspective of control system design. Instead of relying solely on the formulation of more effective LMIs, which is the widely adopted approach in existing LMI-related studies, this cutting-edge book calls for a systematic modification and reshaping of the polytopic convex hull to achieve enhanced performance....

"… well written and easily readable. … The examples and applications to 3 Degrees Of Freedom (DOFs) control schemes for helicopters, models for aeroelastic wing sections and models for controlling the behavior of suspension system in heavy trucks are the main strength of the book. … for control engineers with a solid mathematical formation as well as control theorists and even applied mathematicians."

"The book provides an introduction to a method that has potential to significantly advance the theory and practice of control system design. The modeling step is frequently the most time-consuming stage of practical control system design. The unifying TP representation of quasi LPV models described in this book has potential to make this stage more efficient as well as enabling many of the powerful LMI-based control design methods for LPV systems to be applied to practical problems."
