Robust Event-Triggered Control of Nonlinear Systems: Theory and Applications (Research on Intelligent Manufacturing)

This book presents a study on the novel concept of "event-triggered control of nonlinear systems subject to disturbances", discussing the theory and practical applications. Richly illustrated, it is a valuable resource for researchers, engineers and graduate students in automation engineering who wish to learn the theories, technologies, and applications of event-triggered control of nonlinear systems.

Pengpeng Zhang received the B.E. degree in Electrical Engineering and Automation from the Ludong University, China, in 2014, and the M.E. degree in Control Theory and Control Engineering from Northeastern University, China, in 2016, where he is currently working toward the Ph.D. degree. His research interests include event-triggered control, nonlinear control and quantized control. P. Zhang with T. Liu and Z.P. Jiang, received the “IEEE CSS Beijing Chapter Young Author Prize” at the 2016 Chinese Control Conference. r Engineering at the Polytechnic School of Engineering, New York University. His main research interest is in stability and control for interconnected nonlinear systems, with special emphasis on applications to information, mechanical and biological systems. He is the author of over 160 journal papers and numerous conference papers in these areas.He has written two books: Stability and Stabilization of Nonlinear Systems (with Dr. I. Karafyllis, Springer, 2011) and Nonlinear Control of Dynamic Networks (with Drs. T. Liu and D.J. Hill, CRC Press, Taylor & Francis, 2014).
