Adaptive Backstepping Control of Uncertain Systems: Nonsmooth Nonlinearities, Interactions or Time-Variations / Edition 1

by Jing Zhou, Changyun Wen

Overview

This book employs the powerful and popular adaptive backstepping control technology to design controllers for dynamic uncertain systems with non-smooth nonlinearities. Various cases including systems with time-varying parameters, multi-inputs and multi-outputs, backlash, dead-zone, hysteresis and saturation are considered in design and analysis. For multi-inputs and multi-outputs systems, both centralized and decentralized controls are addressed.

This book not only presents recent research results including theoretical success and practical development such as the proof of system stability and the improvement of system tracking and transient performance, but also gives self-contained coverage of fundamentals on the backstepping approach illustrated with simple examples. Detail description of methodologies for the construction of adaptive laws, feedback control laws and associated Lyapunov functions is systematically provided in each case. Approaches used for the analysis of system stability and tracking and transient performances are elaborated. Two case studies are presented to show how the presented theories are applied.

Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

"‘The book is helpful to learn and understand the fundamental backstepping schemes’. It can be used as an additional textbook on adaptive control for advanced students. Control researchers, especially those working in adaptive nonlinear control, will also widely benefit from this book." (Jacek Kabzinski, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2009 b)
