Continuous System Simulation describes in detail how to build mathematical simulations of systems that change continuously over time. It covers: - Numerical integration - Simulation of stiff systems - Simulation of marginally stable systems - Simulation of noisy systems - Model validation techniques - Simulation verification - The inverse problem - Dynamic nonlinear programming - Simulation software - Simulation hardware Intended for advanced undergraduates in electrical, computer, mechanical, and civil engineering, it is a highly computer-oriented text, introducing numerical methods and algorithms along with the applications and conceptual tools. Homework problems, suggestions for research projects, and open-ended questions conclude each chapter.
