In this book, our interest has been on design and analysis of integrated fault detection and control (IFDC) strategies for complex linear systems. In order to develop safe and reliable complex systems, fault detection and isolation (FDI) schemes should be employed that are capable of detecting and isolating faults in different parts of these systems. On the other hand, one of the main challenges that one is faced with after detecting and isolating the undesirable anomalies and faults in these systems is to develop fault-tolerant control (FTC) strategies that can ensure and maintain the system stability and performance in presence of external disturbances and faults.
