This book is an introduction to the theory of homogeneous systems, useful for the simplification of many types of nonlinear control problems. It propounds methods that can be employed when linearization proves unsuitable and provides a unified approach to stability and robustness analysis, control and observer design, and system discretization.

The second edition splits the coverage of homogeneity, allowing expanded coverage of finite-dimensional systems (in this book) and infinite-dimensional systems (in Volume II). The results are better systematized and easier for readers to study and assimilate.

The first volume details the concepts of finite-time and fixed-time stability. Key features of the book include:

mathematical models of dynamical systems in finite-dimensional spaces;
the theory of linear dilations in Euclidean spaces;
homogeneous control and estimation;
extensively expanded and original chapters with entirely new treatments of digitization, safety-critical systems, neural networks, and multiagent control;
simple methods for an upgrade of existing linear control laws;
numerical schemes for a consistent digital implementation of homogeneous algorithms; and
experimental results that confirm an improvement of PID controllers.

Illustrative examples―numerical results, computer simulations, and real experiments―support all the theoretical material. The coverage of finite-dimensional systems presented in this book is of interest to graduate students of control theory from engineering and applied-mathematical backgrounds and to practising control engineers.

About the Author

Andrey Polyakov received his Ph.D. in Systems Analysis and Control from the Voronezh State University, Russia in 2005. Until 2010, he was an associate professor at the same university. In 2007 and 2008, he was also a research associate with the CINVESTAV-IPN center in Mexico City. From 2010 up to 2013, he was a leader researcher at the Institute of the Control Sciences, Russian Academy of Sciences. In 2013, he joined Inria, Lille, France, as a researcher. He has co-authored more than 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals and three books Attractive Ellipsoids in Robust Control, Road Map for Sliding Mode Control Design and Generalized Homogeneity in Systems and Control 1st Ed. His research interests include various aspects of nonlinear control and estimation theory such as finite-time/fixed-time control, generalized homogeneity, and Lyapunov methods for both finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional systems.

Store Description

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
