Trends in Nonlinear and Adaptive Control

This book, published in honor of Professor Laurent Praly on the occasion of his 65thbirthday, explores theresponses of someleading international authorities to new challenges in nonlinear and adaptive control. The mitigation of the effects of uncertainty and nonlinearity - ubiquitous features of real-world engineering and natural systems - on closed-loop stability and robustness being of crucial importance, the contributions report the latest research into overcoming these difficulties in: autonomous systems; reset control systems; multiple-input-multiple-output nonlinear systems; input delays; partial differential equations; population games; and data-driven control. Trends in Nonlinear and Adaptive Controlpresents research inspired by and related to Professor Praly's lifetime of contributions to control theory and isa valuable additionto the literature of advanced control.
