Robust control of nonlinear uncertain systems

This work presents the definitive treatment of stability analysis and robust control design for nonlinear uncertain systems. While other books on the subject deal with robust control in linear systems, this is the first book to tackle robust control design for such nonlinear entities as power systems, robotics, and more. It combines examples, proofs, and applications - clearly showing how to build high performance and better control into systems that are too complex to be modeled accurately.

A unique feature of this book is its, Lyapunov-based approach to control design, which is the only universal approach for nonlinear systems. For engineers and graduate students in mechanical, electrical, and aerospace engineering, Robust Control of Nonlinear Uncertain Systems imparts the technical know-how for effective design, explores key theoretical issues in control, and provides insight into future trends in the field.
