About this title

Synopsis

A textbook for a graduate or senior course in control or electrical engineering or mathematics. Presents methods for understanding nonlinear systems, keeping the mathematics fairly elementary. The second edition adds references at the end of each chapter, more exercises, and several new topics. No date is noted for the first edition. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

From the Back Cover

This volume explores all the basic methods (phase plane, describing function, point transformation, Tsypkin, Lyapunov) used in the analysis and design of nonlinear control systems.Introduces modern developments (chaotic motion, variable-structure systems, absolute stability, adaptive control); analyses how linearities affect performance of control systems and methods of overcoming deleterious effects; examines nonlinear effects in sampled-data systems essential in modern digital control; and features numerous examples illustrating the application of analytical methods to cases taken from a variety of fields where nonlinear systems occur. The Second Edition contains new material on feedback linearization, I/O systems, adaptive control, and discrete time systems.For researchers working in nonlinear systems/control.
