Title Details

The first comprehensive, self–contained text on nonlinear analysis and robust control Increasingly, robust control plays a greater role in achieving high performance for systems that are too complex to be modeled accurately. Using Lyapunov′s direct method to develop design procedures, compare different controls, and give the reader a definite feel for stability analysis and robust control for nonlinear systems with significant uncertainty, this unique text: ∗ Presents the complete set of robust control design procedures for nonlinear uncertain systems ∗ Introduces the recursive interlacing design method that will generate robust control for uncertain systems with cascaded, feedback, and feedforward dynamics ∗ Covers a broad range of robust control designs, including state feedback and input–output, continuous–time and digital, and static and dynamic controls ∗ Gives advice on selecting design parameters according to their impact on stability and performance ∗ Features illustrations as well as end–of–chapter exercises and references
