This eagerly awaited follow-up to Nonlinear Control Systems incorporates recent advances in the design of feedback laws, for the purpose of globally stabilizing nonlinear systems via state or output feedback. The author is one of the most prominent researchers in the field.

Offering readers a wealth of cutting-edge, Riccati-based design techniques for various forms of control, this self-contained text stress-tests the reliability of the methods outlined with rigorous stability analyses and detailed control design algorithms.

Reinforcement Learning for Optimal Feedback Control develops model-based and data-driven reinforcement learning methods for solving optimal control problems in nonlinear deterministic dynamical systems.

The purpose of this book is to present a self-contained description of the fun damentals of the theory of nonlinear control systems, with special emphasis on the differential geometric approach.

This accessible book pioneers feedback concepts for control mixing. It reviews research results appearing over the last decade, and contains control designs for stabilization of channel, pipe and bluff body flows, as well as control designs for the opposite problem of mixing enhancement.

Reinforcement Learning for Optimal Feedback Control develops model-based and data-driven reinforcement learning methods for solving optimal control problems in nonlinear deterministic dynamical systems.

This is a unified collection of important recent results for the design of robust controllers for uncertain systems, primarily based on H8 control theory or its stochastic counterpart, risk sensitive control theory. Two practical applications are used to illustrate the methods throughout.

New results, fresh ideas and new applications in automotive and flight control systems are presented in this second edition of Robust Control.

This book offers model-based design methods for trajectory planning, feedback stabilization, state estimation and tracking control of distributed-parameter systems governed by partial differential equations. Blends theory, simulations and experimental results.

theoretical exploration and logical association of several independent but pivotal concerns in control design as they pertain to switched linear systems: controllability and observability, feedback stabilization, optimization and periodic switching;

A unified and systematic description of analysis and decision problems within a wide class of uncertain systems, described by traditional mathematical methods and by relational knowledge representations. Prof. Bubnicki takes a unique approach to stability and stabilization of uncertain systems.

This book presents a modern and self-contained treatment of the Liapunov method for stability analysis, in the framework of mathematical nonlinear control theory.

This book introduces the reader to a novel method of mathematical description, analysis and design of digital control systems, which makes it possible to take into account, in the most complete form, specific features of interaction between continuous-time and discrete time processes.

Unique in its systematic approach to stochastic systems, this book presents a wide range of techniques that lead to novel strategies for effecting intelligent control of complex systems that are typically characterised by uncertainty, nonlinear dynamics, component failure, unpredictable disturbances, multi-modality and high dimensional spaces.

In this book, the authors extend the parametric transfer function methods, which incorporate time-dependence, to the idea of the parametric transfer matrix in a complete exposition of analysis and design methods for multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) sampled-data systems.

Suitable either as a reference for practising engineers or as a text for a graduate course in adaptive control systems, this is a self-contained compendium of readily implementable adaptive control algorithms.

How does a machine learn a new concept on the basis of examples? This second edition takes account of important new developments in the field. It also deals extensively with the theory of learning control systems, now comparably mature to learning of neural networks.

This book covers modeling and control of data traffic in communication networks, showing how network phenomena can be represented in a mathematical framework suitable for rigorous analysis. Includes real-world examples supported by figures, tables and graphs.

This book develops stochastic averaging theorems and stochastic extremum-seeking algrithms, illustrating their use in a variety of models. Includes simulation examples based in bacterial locomotion, multi-agent robotic systems, and economic market models.

This volume presents recent and notable progress in the mathematical theory of stabilization of Newtonian fluid flows. It avoids the tedious technical details often seen in mathematical treatments of the subject and will thus appeal to a wide range of readers.

This book presents an overview of the different errors-in-variables (EIV) methods that can be used for system identification.

This book presents an overview of the different errors-in-variables (EIV) methods that can be used for system identification.

In this book, rather than emphasize differences between sampled-data and continuous-time systems, the authors proceed from the premise that, with modern sampling rates as high as they are, it is more appropriate to emphasise connections and similarities.

This book details the theory, algorithms, and applications of structured low-rank approximation, and presents efficient local optimization methods and effective suboptimal convex relaxations for Toeplitz, Hankel and Sylvester structured problems and more.

Both measurement-based feedback control (i.e., feedback control by a classical system involving a continuous-time measurement process) and coherent feedback control (i.e., feedback control by another quantum system without the intervention of any measurements in the feedback loop) are treated.

Passivity-Based Control and Estimation in Networked Robotics

This book reports on recent achievements in stability and feedback stabilization of infinite systems. Various control methods such as sensor feedback control and dynamic boundary control are applied to stabilize the equations. Many new theorems and methods are included in the book.
