Nonlinear Control Systems

Provides complete coverage of both the Lyapunov and Input-Output stability theories, ina readable, concise manner.<br /> * Supplies an introduction to the popular backstepping approach to nonlinear control design<br /> * Gives a thorough discussion of the concept of input-to-state stability<br /> * Includes a discussion of the fundamentals of feedback linearization and related results.<br /> * Details complete coverage of the fundamentals of dissipative system’s theory and its application in the so-called L2gain control prooblem, for the first time in an introductory level textbook.<br /> * Contains a thorough discussion of nonlinear observers, a very important problem, not commonly encountered in textbooksat this level. <p>*An Instructor’s Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.</p>
