Aerial Traffic Management (ATM) and Aerial Collision Avoidance (ACA) are the most
important issues in aviation transportation. Accurate Aircraft Trajectory Prediction (ATP) …

IN SPITE of recent advances in control system theory, gain-scheduling techniques remain a
viable approach for the control of a great variety of nonlinear systems [1, 2] and are widely …

The present dissertation is the result of three years of work at the Institute of Control Systems
at Hamburg University of Technology and 14 months at the Aerospace Engineering and …

The goal of this chapter is to introduce the main ways for representing linear parameter-
varying systems and emphasize their ability to represent a wide class of dynamical systems …

This note provides a new method for the stabilization of nonlinear systems with parametric
uncertainty. Unlike traditional techniques, our approach does not assume that the …

This paper addresses the directional control problem of autonomous air vehicles in order to
obtain trajectory tracking capabilities when flying in other than calm conditions. The control …

Synthesis of gain scheduled controllers often requires that a parameter-varying controller be
generated from a finite set of linear time-invariant controllers. We propose interpolation …

Gain scheduling controllers are considered in this paper. The gain scheduling problem
where the scheduling parameter vector/spl theta/cannot be measured directly, but needs to …

A multimodel controller design procedure is proposed and evaluated on a strongly nonlinear
chemical process. The objective is to design a controller which achieves good quadratic …

This paper presents a new application of structured H∞ synthesis to tune self-scheduled
controllers. Newly available MATLAB-based tools allow to tune fixed-structure linear …
