本书的作者于1970年发表了Introduction to Linear System Theory一书。该书在国内外曾广泛地被采用为研究生线性系统理论课的教材。C.T.Chen 1984年发表的这本书对前书作了很多补充,主要是在传递函数阵分式分解描述方面把近年来分析与设计理论的主要进展写入该教材中。 全书共662页,内容包括状态空间法和传递函数矩阵法,比较全面地叙述了线性系统理论的基本内容。本教材有两个特点。一是用较简单的方法推导出重要的结论和设计 The author of this book published Introduction to Linear System Theory in 1970. The book has been widely adopted as a textbook for graduate students’ theory of linear systems at home and abroad. The book, published by C.T.Chen in 1984, supplements the first book by mainly including the major advances in analysis and design theory in recent years in the context of the fractional decomposition of transfer functions. The book consists of 662 pages, including the state space method and the transfer function matrix method, a more comprehensive description of the basic content of the linear system theory. The textbook has two characteristics. The first is to use simpler methods to derive important conclusions and designs
