Analysis and Design of Nonlinear Control Systems
This book is a tribute to Prof. Alberto Isidori on the occasion of his 65th birthday. Prof. Isidori’s proli?c, pioneering and high-impact research activity has spanned over 35 years. Throughout his career, Prof. Isidori has developed ground-breaking results, has initiated researchdirections and has contributed towardsthe foundationofnonlinear controltheory.In addition,his dedication to explain intricate issues and di?cult concepts in a simple and rigorous way and to motivate young researchers has been instrumental to the intellectual growth of the nonlinear control community worldwide. The volume collects 27 contributions written by a total of 52 researchers. The principal author of each c...
Owned by the Mafia King
Paige: Before I was taken, I had to live in the shadows for fear that my father’s enemies would find me and end me. Nothing much has changed now that I am owned by Tommaso Conti. I live in his house. I do what he wants. Sure, he says he cares about me, but how do I know I’m not just another pound of flesh to him? I want to be my own person, but how can I be when I belong to him? Tommaso: I’d do anything to make things right for Paige, but I cannot let her go, not when there are so many people out there who still want to hurt her. I’ll do my best to make her dreams come true, but she has to stay under my roof in order to survive. The more I learn about the horrible things that happened to her, the more convicted I become. I’m about to burn Philly to the ground to make things right for the woman I love. WARNING: This is book 6 in an 8 book series. You will need to read all the books through 8 to complete the story. Also, A Kings of Philly Mafia Romance series is filled with drama, lots of angst, and very dark material with certain subjects that may upset the reader with triggers. This series is recommended for mature readers due to its graphic language and sexual content.
Saved by the Mafia King
Paige: I wasn’t sure if Tommaso really loved me at first. He bought me nice gifts, took me places, treated me like I hung the moon. But the scars on my body run deep, and it was difficult for me to trust him—or anyone else. Once he started shutting down other operations that were taking women and selling them, I knew he was legit. And now, I think I might love him, too. If I’m even capable of love anymore. Tommaso: The rest of the Philly families think I’m buying these women to sell them. That’s fine, for now. Whatever it takes to keep up the charade so I can get them out and get them home safe. I have a reputation to maintain as a ruthless killer. But with Paige by my side, it’s...
L1 Adaptive Control Theory
This book presents a comprehensive overview of the recently developed L1 adaptive control theory, including detailed proofs of the main results. The key feature of the L1 adaptive control theory is the decoupling of adaptation from robustness. The architectures of L1 adaptive control theory have guaranteed transient performance and robustness in the presence of fast adaptation, without enforcing persistent excitation, applying gain-scheduling, or resorting to high-gain feedback.
Falling for the Mafia King
Sera: The Hand of Death wants me—and not just because I’m a commodity. No, he’s holding me in his home for other reasons. I feel the heat when he looks at me. His body responds to me the same way mine does to his—with a thousand dirty thoughts. So why can’t he just admit he’s falling for me, too? Killian: When you’re in the life, everyone knows falling in love makes you vulnerable. As my mother likes to remind me, “Your weakness is showing.” I can’t look at Sera and not want her. Maybe it’s time I sent her away—for good. Other mafia crime lords are offering me millions for the Bianchi girl. Why don’t I just take one of them up on his offer? We both know why. She’s fallen for me hard—and I’m right behind her. Damn. One of us just might end up dead. WARNING: This is book 2 in an 8 book series. You will need to read all the books through 8 to complete the story. Also, A Kings of Philly Mafia Romance series is filled with drama, lots of angst, and very dark material with certain subjects that may upset the reader with triggers. This series is recommended for mature readers due to its graphic language and sexual content.
Control and Monitoring of Chemical Batch Reactors
The Chemical Batch Reactor is aimed at tackling the above problems from a blending of academic and industrial perspectives. Advanced solutions (i.e., those based on recent research results) to the four fundamental problems of modeling, identification, control and fault diagnosis for batch processes are developed in detail in four distinct chapters. In each chapter, a general overview of foundational concepts is also given, together with a review of recent and classical literature on the various subjects. To provide a unitary treatment of the different topics and give a firm link to the underlying practical applications, a single case study is developed as the book progresses; a batch process of industrial interest, i.e., the phenol-formaldehyde reaction for the production of phenolic resins, is adopted to test the various techniques developed. In this way, a roadmap of the solutions to fundamental problems, ranging from the early stages of the production process to the complete design of control and diagnosis systems, is provided for both industrial practitioners and academic researchers.
Active Braking Control Systems Design for Vehicles
Active Braking Control Design for Road Vehicles focuses on two main brake system technologies: hydraulically-activated brakes with on–off dynamics and electromechanical brakes, tailored to brake-by-wire control. The physical differences of such actuators enjoin the use of different control schemes so as to be able fully to exploit their characteristics. The authors show how these different control approaches are complementary, each having specific peculiarities in terms of either performance or of the structural properties of the closed-loop system. They also consider other problems related to the design of braking control systems, namely: • longitudinal vehicle speed estimation and its relationship with braking control system design; • tire–road friction estimation; • direct estimation of tire–road contact forces via in-tire sensors, providing a treatment of active vehicle braking control from a wider perspective linked to both advanced academic research and industrial reality.
Mathematical Control Theory I
This treatment of modern topics related to mathematical systems theory forms the proceedings of a workshop, Mathematical Systems Theory: From Behaviors to Nonlinear Control, held at the University of Groningen in July 2015. The workshop celebrated the work of Professors Arjan van der Schaft and Harry Trentelman, honouring their 60th Birthdays. The first volume of this two-volume work covers a variety of topics related to nonlinear and hybrid control systems. After giving a detailed account of the state of the art in the related topic, each chapter presents new results and discusses new directions. As such, this volume provides a broad picture of the theory of nonlinear and hybrid control systems for scientists and engineers with an interest in the interdisciplinary field of systems and control theory. The reader will benefit from the expert participants’ ideas on exciting new approaches to control and system theory and their predictions of future directions for the subject that were discussed at the workshop.
Nonlinear Control of Vehicles and Robots
Nonlinear Control of Vehicles and Robots develops a unified approach to the dynamic modeling of robots in terrestrial, aerial and marine environments. The main classes of nonlinear systems and stability methods are summarized and basic nonlinear control methods, useful in manipulator and vehicle control, are presented. Formation control of ground robots and ships is discussed. The book also deals with the modeling and control of robotic systems in the presence of non-smooth nonlinearities. Robust adaptive tracking control of robotic systems with unknown payload and friction in the presence of uncertainties is treated. Theoretical and practical aspects of the control algorithms under discussion are detailed. Examples are included throughout the book allowing the reader to apply the control and modeling techniques in their own research and development work. Some of these examples demonstrate state estimation based on the use of advanced sensors as part of the control system.
Differential Equations
Presents recent developments in the areas of differential equations, dynamical systems, and control of finke and infinite dimensional systems. Focuses on current trends in differential equations and dynamical system research-from Darameterdependence of solutions to robui control laws for inflnite dimensional systems.
