Modeling and Identification of Linear Parameter-Varying Systems

Through the past 20 years, the framework of Linear Parameter—Varying (LPV) systems has become a promising system theoretical approach to handle the control of mildly nonlinear and especially position dependent systems which are common in mechatronic applications and in the process industry. The birth of this system class was initiated by the need of engineers to achieve better performance for nonlinear and time—varying dynamics, c— mon in many industrial applications, than what the classica...
