Dissipative Systems Analysis and Control

The third edition of the now standard Dissipative Systems Analysis and Control presents a revised and expanded treatment of dissipative systems theory, constituting a self-contained, advanced introduction for graduate students, researchers and practising engineers. It examines linear, nonlinear and nonsmooth systems, with many examples in each chapter; occasional infinite-dimensional examples are also included. Throughout, emphasis is placed on the use of the dissipative properties of a system for the design of stable and robust feedback control laws or state observers. The theory is substantiated by experimental results and by reference to its application in illustrative physical cases (Lagrangian systems, passivity-based and adaptive controllers are covered thoroughly). The third edition is substantially updated to accommodate new material within the existing chapter structure. The additions include: · the introduction of negative imaginary transfer functions; · the design of stable state observers that use passivity as a tool for their stability analysis; · a new section on robust set-valued control of uncertain Lagrangian systems; · extended section on discrete-time systems, especially the preservation of dissipativity after discretization; . a thorough treatment of nonsmooth set-valued Lur'e systems well-posednees and stability; . an extended chapter on the Kalman–Yakubovich–Popov Lemma; and . over 1000 references.

Nonlinear Control Systems

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.
