In the early days of nonlinear control theory most of the stability, optimality and uncertainty
concepts were descriptive rather than constructive. This survey describes their …

Constructive Nonlinear Control presents a broad repertoire of constructive nonlinear
designs not available in other works by widening the class of systems and design tools …

I began writing this textbook several years ago. At that time my intention was to write a
research monograph with focus on the input—output theory of systems and its connection …

The analysis and design of nonlinear feedback systems has recently undergone an
exceptionally rich period of progress and maturation, fueled, to a great extent, by (1) the …

This book presents advances in the theory and design of robust nonlinear control systems.
In the first part of the book, the authors provide a unified framework for state-space and …

It is argued that, for a cautious design, a nonlinear analysis is needed to reveal when and
why linear tools fail. Emerging nonlinear tools that can be used to overcome the limitations …

Last five decades witnessed remarkable developments in linear control systems and thus
problems in this subject has been largely resolved. The scope of the present paper is …

This tutorial paper is devoted to the controllability and stability of control systems that are
nonlinear, and for which, for whatever reason, linearization fails. We begin by motivating the …

In the rich repertoire of design methodologies for uncertain nonlinear systems, the problem
of unmodeled dynamics has thus far received little attention. The authors initiate the …

Linear and nonlinear feedback control systems differ fundamentally in a number of
characteristics. It is well known that the most fundamental characteristic of a linear system is …
