A fuzzy logic system (FLS) is unique in that it is able to simultaneously handle numerical
data and linguistic knowledge. It is a nonlinear mapping of an input data (feature) vector into …

An underactuated mechanical system (UMS) is a system which has fewer independent
control actuators than degrees of freedom to be controlled. Control of UMS is considered as …

This paper develops the disturbance observer-based integral sliding-mode control approach
for continuous-time linear systems with mismatched disturbances or uncertainties. The …

In this paper, fuzzy systems are represented as series expansions of fuzzy basis functions
which are algebraic superpositions of fuzzy membership functions. Using the Stone …

There has been great interest in" universal controllers" that mimic the functions of human
processes to learn about the systems they are controlling on-line so that performance …

The output regulation problem, or alternatively, the servomechanism problem, addresses
design of a feedback controller to achieve asymptotic tracking for a class of reference inputs …

Field theory is a more or less coherent approach in the social sciences whose essence is
the explanation of regularities in individual action by recourse to position vis-à-vis others …

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 …

Nonlinear and Adaptive Control with Applications provides a detailed treatment of the
design of robust adaptive controllers for nonlinear systems with uncertainties. The authors …

We consider the application of a formulation of passivity-based control (PBC), known as
interconnection and damping assignment (IDA) to the problem of stabilization of …
