Description

Significant progress has been made on nonlinear control systems in the past two decades. However, many of the existing nonlinear control methods cannot be readily used to cope with communication and networking issues without nontrivial modifications. For example, small quantization errors may cause the performance of a "well-designed" nonlinear control system to deteriorate.

Motivated by the need for new tools to solve complex problems resulting from smart power grids, biological processes, distributed computing networks, transportation networks, robotic systems, and other cutting-edge control applications, Nonlinear Control of Dynamic Networks tackles newly arising theoretical and real-world challenges for stability analysis and control design, including nonlinearity, dimensionality, uncertainty, and information constraints as well as behaviors stemming from quantization, data-sampling, and impulses.

Delivering a systematic review of the nonlinear small-gain theorems, the text:

  • Supplies novel cyclic-small-gain theorems for large-scale nonlinear dynamic networks
  • Offers a cyclic-small-gain framework for nonlinear control with static or dynamic quantization
  • Contains a combination of cyclic-small-gain and set-valued map designs for robust control of nonlinear uncertain systems subject to sensor noise
  • Presents a cyclic-small-gain result in directed graphs and distributed control of nonlinear multi-agent systems with fixed or dynamically changing topology

Based on the authors' recent research, Nonlinear Control of Dynamic Networks provides a unified framework for robust, quantized, and distributed control under information constraints. Suggesting avenues for further exploration, the book encourages readers to take into consideration more communication and networking issues in control designs to better handle the arising challenges.

Dr. Tengfei Liu holds a BE in automation and ME in control theory and engineering from the South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, as well as a Ph.D in engineering from the Australian National University, Acton, Canberra. He is a visiting assistant professor at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University, Brooklyn, USA. His current research interests include stability theory and robust nonlinear, quantized, and distributed control and their applications in mechanical, power, and transportation systems. Dr. Liu, with Prof. Zhong-Ping Jiang and Prof. David J. Hill, received the Guan Zhao-Zhi Best Paper Award at the 2011 Chinese Control Conference.

Prof. Zhong-Ping Jiang holds a BS in mathematics from the University of Wuhan, China; MS in statistics from the University of Paris XI, France; and Ph.D in automatic control and mathematics from the Ecole des Mines de Paris, France. Currently, he is full professor of electrical and computer engineering at New York University, Brooklyn, USA. His research interests include stability theory, robust and adaptive nonlinear control, and adaptive dynamic programming and their applications to underactuated mechanical systems, communication networks, multi-agent systems, smart grids, and neuroscience. An IEEE and IFAC fellow, he has coauthored two books and edited several publications.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
