Abstract The framework of Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) systems concerns linear
dynamical systems whose state-space representations depend on exogenous nonstationary …

This paper derives new results in non-linear system analysis using methods inspired from
fluid mechanics and differential geometry. Based on a differential analysis of convergence …

Gain scheduling for nonlinear controller design is described in terms of general features of
the approach and in terms of early examples of applications in flight control and automotive …

Through the past 20 years, the framework of Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) systems has
become a promising system theoretical approach to handle the control of mildly nonlinear …

At publication, The Control Handbook immediately became the definitive resource that
engineers working with modern control systems required. Among its many accolades, that …

The gain-scheduling approach is perhaps one of the most popular non-linear control design
approaches which has been widely and successfully applied in fields ranging from …

The fault-tolerant control problem belongs to the domain of complex control systems in
which inter-control-disciplinary information and expertise are required. This paper outlines …

In chemical process operation, the purpose of control is to achieve optimal process
operation despite the presence of significant uncertainty about the plant behavior and …

In this thesis we study the control problem of linear parameter varying (LPV) systems using
LPV controllers. The LPV plants are finite-dimensional linear systems with known, parameter …

Dynamic Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models are not always easy to interpret, in particular when
they are identified from experimental data. It is shown that there exists a close relationship …
