Nonlinear and Robust Control of PDE Systems: Methods and Applications to Transport-Reaction Processes

The interest in control of nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) systems has been triggered by the need to achieve tight distributed control of transport-reaction processes that exhibit highly nonlinear behavior and strong spatial variations. Drawing from recent advances in dynamics of PDE systems and nonlinear control theory, control of nonlinear PDEs has evolved into a very active research area of systems and control. This book­ the first of its kind- presents general methods for ...
