Synopsis

This book is an integrated treatment of its selected research in nonlinear networked systems and control. It progresses from stabilization and regulation to synchronization, providing a systematic approach connecting work in the field. It covers essential control problems methodically, emphasizing problem formulation, techniques, and their interrelationships. Starting with fundamental concepts, the book builds a solid understanding before delving into advanced research areas, facilitating learning and preparing readers for real-world challenges in robotics, automated vehicles, smart grids, and neural networks.

This book balances technical accuracy, difficulty, and depth, to make complex theories accessible. The book supports a rigorous theoretical presentation of control design methods with numerous examples. It addresses cutting-edge research topics and prepares readers for advanced studies. By emphasizing both theoretical foundations and practical relevance, it equips readers to engage critically with current research and, further, to develop their own innovations in nonlinear networks and their control.

Graduate students in engineering and applied mathematics and practitioners and academic theorists in electrical, aerospace, mechanical, and chemical engineering will find this book a valuable reference.

About this title

About the Author

Zhiyong Chen received his B.Eng. degree in Automatic Control from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2000. He then earned his M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical and Automation Engineering from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2002 and 2005, respectively. From 2005 to 2006, he was a Research Associate at the University of Virginia. In 2006, he joined the University of Newcastle, Australia, where he is currently a Professor. He was also an honorary Changjiang Chair Professor at Central South University, China. His research primarily focuses on nonlinear control theory and its applications. He has published a textbook titled "Stabilization and Regulation of Nonlinear Systems," over 180 journal papers, and more than 100 conference papers. He has also served as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, Automatica, and several other prestigious journals.
