This practical yet rigorous book provides a development of nonlinear, Lyapunov-based tools and their use in the solution of control-theoretic problems. Rich in motivating examples and new design techniques, the text balances theoretical foundations and real-world implementation.
This practical yet rigorous book provides a development of nonlinear, Lyapunov-based tools and their use in the solution of control-theoretic problems. Rich in motivating examples and new design techniques, the text balances theoretical foundations and real-world implementation.
The text is a reference book which provides both mathematically rigorous theoretical development and the application of various nonlinear, Lyapunov-based techniques to a broad class of practical engineering systems, including mechanical, electrical, robotic, aerospace, and underactuated systems.... Each chapter contains an exposition of the necessary mathematical background and is provided with detailed references for further reading. For each of the systems examined, simulation results are presented. The material in the text is intended for readers with a background in undergraduate systems theory and is beneficial for students and practicing research and development engineers in the area of control. Beautifully written, the book includes a wide range of applications making it suitable for an extensive audience.
