Nonlinear Systems Stability Analysis
CRC Press 2013; US$ 169.95The equations used to describe dynamic properties of physical systems are often nonlinear, and it is rarely possible to find their solutions. Although numerical solutions are impractical and graphical techniques are not useful for many types of systems, there are different theorems and methods that are useful regarding qualitative properties of nonlinear... more...
Nonlinear Optimal Control Theory
CRC Press 2012; US$ 99.95Nonlinear Optimal Control Theory presents a deep, wide-ranging introduction to the mathematical theory of the optimal control of processes governed by ordinary differential equations and certain types of differential equations with memory. Many examples illustrate the mathematical issues that need to be addressed when using optimal control techniques... more...
Nonlinear Control Synthesis for Electrical Power Systems Using Controllable Series Capacitors
Springer 2012; US$ 39.99Electrical power system stabilization continues to be a challenging problem in the area of power system networks. Power electronic devices that are being increasingly used in the community to achieve better and faster responses offer an opportunity to relook at control algorithms. Much of the prevailing theory and control design however, relies on... more...
Frequency-Domain Control Design for High-Performance Systems
The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2012; US$ 128.00One of the few books that focuses on practical control theory for high performance systems, succinctly presented for ease of consumption, with illustrative examples using data from actual control designs. This book serves as a practical guide for the control engineer, and attempts to bridge the gap between industrial and academic control theory. Frequency... more...
Fast Numerical Methods for Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Model-Predictive Control
Springer 2011; US$ 84.99Christian Kirches develops a fast numerical algorithm of wide applicability that efficiently solves mixed-integer nonlinear optimal control problems. He uses convexification and relaxation techniques to obtain computationally tractable reformulations for which feasibility and optimality certificates can be given even after discretization and rounding. more...
Fractional Dynamics and Control
Springer 2011; US$ 99.99Fractional Dynamics and Control provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the areas of nonlinear dynamics, vibration and control with analytical, numerical, and experimental results. This book provides an overview of recent discoveries in fractional control, delves into fractional variational principles and differential equations, and... more...
Nonlinear Dynamical Systems and Control
Princeton University Press 2011; US$ 125.00Nonlinear Dynamical Systems and Control presents and develops an extensive treatment of stability analysis and control design of nonlinear dynamical systems, with an emphasis on Lyapunov-based methods. Dynamical system theory lies at the heart of mathematical sciences and engineering. The application of dynamical systems has crossed interdisciplinary... more...
Dynamic Surface Control of Uncertain Nonlinear Systems
Springer 2011; US$ 84.99Although the problem of nonlinear controller design is as old as that of linear controller design, the systematic design methods framed in response are more sparse. Given the range and complexity of nonlinear systems, effective new methods of control design are therefore of significant importance. "Dynamic Surface Control of Uncertain Nonlinear... more...
Transient Chaos
Springer 2011; US$ 69.99The aim of this book is to give an overview, based on the results of nearly three decades of intensive research, of transient chaos. One belief that motivates us to write this book is that, transient chaos may not have been appreciated even within the nonlinear-science community, let alone other scientific disciplines. more...
Unifying Themes in Complex Systems IV
Springer 2008; US$ 139.99In June of 2002, over 500 professors, students and researchers met in Boston, Massachusetts for the Fourth International Conference on Complex Systems. The attendees represented a remarkably diverse collection of fields: biology, ecology, physics, engineering, computer science, economics, psychology and sociology, The goal of the conference was to... more...
