Covers in a progressive fashion a number of analysis tools and design techniques directly applicable to nonlinear control problems in high performance systems (in aerospace, robotics and automotive areas).

Many of the non-smooth, non-linear phenomena covered in this well-balanced book are of vital importance in almost any field of engineering. Contributors from all over the world ensure that no one area’s slant on the subjects predominates.

The rapid development of control technology has an impact on all areas of the control discipline. The series offers an opportunity for researchers to present an extended exposition of new work in all aspects of industrial control.

9. Decentralized Adaptive Tracking Control of Time-Delay Systems with Dead-zone Input -- 9.1 Introduction -- 9.2 Problem Formulation -- 9.3 Design of Adaptive Controllers -- 9.3.1 Design of Local State Estimation Filters -- 9.3.2 Design of ...

This volume will therefore not only advance the field of adaptive control as an area of study, but will also show how the potential of this technology can be realised and offer significant benefits.

This book presents a state-of-the-art report on the following more specific area: the system classes under consideration contain linear (possibly nonlinearly perturbed), finite dimensional, continuous time systems which are stabilizable by ...

This book presents the results of the second workshop on Neural Adaptive Control Technology, NACT II, held on September 9-10, 1996, in Berlin.
