Présentation de l'éditeur :
When the first edition of this book was published, most control theorists considered the subject of nonlinear systems a mystery. Since then, advances in the application of differential geometric methods to nonlinear analysis have matured to a stage where every control theorist needs to possess knowledge of the basic techniques. The second edition provides a rigorous mathematical analysis of the behavior of nonlinear control systems under a variety of situations. It develops nonlinear generalizations of a large number of techniques and methods widely used in linear control theory. It contains three extensive chapters devoted to the key topics of Lyapunov stability, input-output stability, and the treatment of differential geometric control theory. Moreover, valuable reference material included in these chapters is unavailable elsewhere. The text also features a large number of problems that allow readers to test their understanding, and self-contained sections and chapters that make particular topics more accessible.
Présentation de l'éditeur :
The second edition provides thorough, up-to-date coverage of the analytical foundations of various aspects of nonlinear systems. This includes details on existence and uniqueness of solutions and approximate analysis methods. Reflecting the increasing importance of digital computers, the author has included a discussion of discrete-time systems in the chapters dealing with Lyapunov stability and input-output stability. Several applications of nonlinear system theory are included throughout the book, including stability and convergence of adaptive identifiers, stability of a class of electro-mechanical systems, a separation theorem for deterministic nonlinear systems, and more.
