Nonlinear Control Systems: Analysis and Design

Provides complete coverage of both the Lyapunov and Input-Output stability theories, ina readable, concise manner. Supplies an introduction to the popular backstepping approach to nonlinear control design Gives a thorough discussion of the concept of input-to-state stability Includes a discussion of the fundamentals of feedback linearization and related results. 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. Contains a thorough discussion of nonlinear observers, a very important problem, not commonly encountered in textbooksat this level. An Instructor’s Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.
