This book presents a groundbreaking design principle that challenges the traditional separation principle of modern control theory, which has been in place for over six decades since its inception. Guided by this novel principle, a generalized state feedback control can be designed based on the parameters of the observer, enabling robust performance for a wide range of plant systems. In contrast, the robust property of existing state feedback control, which is designed separately from the observer parameters, cannot be fully realized for most plant systems.

To overcome this limitation, the proposed design allows for the free design and adjustment of the observer order, resulting in a unified generalized state feedback control that encompasses both existing state feedback control and static output feedback control. This control enables the effective tradeoff between performance and robustness by adapting to different system characteristics. Moreover, the generalized state feedback control possesses the ability to assign eigen-structures, significantly improving performance and robustness compared to traditional control theory designs.

What makes this book particularly remarkable is its simplicity and accessibility. The results are presented and illustrated from a basic level, utilizing only fundamental mathematical tools. Extensive examples and exercise problems are provided, allowing readers to grasp and apply the concepts easily. In addition, this third edition has made substantial improvements in this regard, making the content even more comprehensive and user-friendly.

Modern control theoreticians have formulated various approaches to the feedback control design problem, but the ultimate goal is to solve it effectively. This book provides a valuable contribution to the field by offering a practical and innovative solution that addresses the limitations of traditional control theory. Its simplicity and accessibility make it an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in the area of control systems.
