This volume is based on the course notes of the 2nd NCN Pedagogical School, the second in the series of Pedagogical Schools in the frame work of the European TMR project, "Breakthrough in the control of nonlinear systems (Nonlinear Control Network)". The school consists of four courses that have been chosen to give a broad range of techniques for the analysis and synthesis of nonlinear control systems, and have been developed by leading experts in the field. The topics covered are: Differential Algebraic Methods in Nonlinear Systems; Nonlinear QFT; Hybrid Systems; Physics in Control. The book has a pedagogical character, and is specially directed to postgraduates in most areas of engineering and applied sciences like mathematics and physics. It will also be of interest to researchers and practitioners needing a solid introduction to the above topics.
This book includes selected contributions by lecturers at the third annual Formation d’Automatique de Paris. It provides a well-integrated synthesis of the latest thinking in nonlinear optimal control, observer design, stability analysis and structural properties of linear systems, without the need for an exhaustive literature review. The internationally known contributors to this volume represent many of the most reputable control centers in Europe.
These papers were presented at the first EC-TMR Nonlinear Control Network Workshop, on Stability and Stabilization of Nonlinear Systems, that took place in March 1999, Ghent, Belgium. The TMR programme offers a unique opportunity for the academic community to expand their knowledge, share their experience and identify and discuss strategic issues in aspects of nonlinear control engineering. The aim is to create a resource centre of available expertise and research interests. This outstanding reference volume presents current and emerging research directions, including: Stability analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems and converse Lyapunov theorems; Stabilization and regulation of nonlinear dynamical control systems; Control of physical systems using physics-based Lyapunov functions and passivity, as well as bifurcation analysis and optimal control. This collection of peer-reviewed papers provides a comprehensive overview of this field of research for graduate students and researchers in engineering and applied mathematics.
Sets out core theory and reviews new methods and applications to show how hybrid systems can be modelled and understood.
Control of nonlinear systems, one of the most active research areas in control theory, has always been a domain of natural convergence of research interests in applied mathematics and control engineering. The theory has developed from the early phase of its history, when the basic tool was essentially only the Lyapunov second method, to the present day, where the mathematics ranges from differential geometry, calculus of variations, ordinary and partial differential equations, functional analysis, abstract algebra and stochastic processes, while the applications to advanced engineering design span a wide variety of topics, which include nonlinear controllability and observability, optimal co...
This book gathers together a selection of papers presented at the Joint CTS-HYCON Workshop on Nonlinear and Hybrid Control held at the Paris Sorbonne, France, 10-12 July 2006. The main objective of the Workshop was to promote the exchange of ideas and experiences and reinforce scientific contacts in the large multidisciplinary area of the control of nonlinear and hybrid systems.
