The interest in control of nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) sys tems has been triggered by the need to achieve tight distributed control of transport-reaction processes that exhibit highly nonlinear behavior and strong spatial variations.

This book takes the topic of H-infinity control as a point of departure, and pursues an improved controller design suggested in the mainstream of robust control. Using stochastic methods, the book is important to the circuits and systems community, alongside researchers in networking systems, operator theory and linear multivariable control.

One of the main problems in control theory is the stabilization problem consisting of finding a feedback control law ensuring stability;

Varaiya is an eminent faculty member of the University of California at Berkeley, widely known for his seminal contributions in areas as diverse as stochastic systems, nonlinear and hybrid systems, distributed systems, communication networks, transportation systems, power networks, economics, optimization, and systems education.

This book offers a method based on asymptotic analysis aimed at combining techniques of homogenization and approximation to cover optimal control problems defined on reticulated domains, networked systems such as lattice, honeycomb, or hierarchical structures.

This volume is dedicated to the fundamentals of convex functional analysis. On the one hand, a bare minimum of the theory required to understand the principles of functional, convex and set-valued analysis is presented.

Both Petar and Turi have carried out distinguished work in the control community and have long been recognized as mentors, as well as experts and pioneers in the field of automatic control, covering many topics in control theory and several different applications.

This book addresses the design of such tools for correct-by-construction synthesis of supervisors for systems and specifications represented in the discrete-event framework. The approach employed uses Petri nets as discrete-event models and structural methods for the synthesis of supervisors, and may lead to significant computational benefits.

Authors are experts in the field and have published books as well as articles in first-rate journals Comprehensive resource that contains many MATLAB-based examples

This book presents recently developed methodologies that utilize quantized information in system identification and explores their potential in extending control capabilities for systems with limited sensor information or networked systems.

The problem of controlling the output of a system so as to achieve asymptotic tracking of prescribed trajectories and/or asymptotic re jection of undesired disturbances is a central problem in control the ory.

* Recommended by T.Basar, SC series ed. * This text addresses a new, active area of research and fills a gap in the literature. * Bridges mathematics, engineering, and computer science; * Useful as a supplementary text & reference for grad students with some background in control theory;

The authors present the theory of symmetric (Hermitian) matrix Riccati equations and contribute to the development of the theory of non-symmetric Riccati equations as well as to certain classes of coupled and generalized Riccati equations occurring in differential games and stochastic control.

This book gives an account of an ellipsoidal calculus and ellipsoidal techniques developed by the authors. The text ranges from a specially developed theory of exact set-valued solutions to the description of ellipsoidal calculus, related ellipsoidal-based methods and examples worked out with computer graphics.

The idea is to reduce the overall complex problem into manageable approximate problems or subproblems, to solve these problems, and to construct a solution of the original problem from the solutions of these simpler prob lems.

This is a survey of developments, results, and applications in stochastic analysis, control theory, optimization and applications. It should be a valuable resource for practitioners, researchers and professionals in applied mathematics, operations research and engineering.

Presents constructive design methods for boundary stabilization and boundary estimation for several classes of benchmark problems in flow control, with potential applications to turbulence control, weather forecasting, and plasma control. This book is suitable for a broad, interdisciplinary engineering and mathematics audience.

Surveys advances in mathematical systems theory and control. This book addresses cross-section of major research directions: hybrid systems theory, robust control and stability of linear and nonlinear systems, parametrization of linear systems and control of infinite dimensional systems.

This volume is a collection of chapters covering recent advances in stochastic optimal control theory and algebraic systems theory. Requiring only knowledge of undergraduate-level control and systems theory, the work may be used as a supplementary textbook in a graduate course on optimal control or algebraic systems theory.

This self-contained monograph describes basic set-theoretic methods for control. It provides a discussion of their links to fundamental problems in Lyapunov stability analysis and stabilization, optimal control, control under constraints, persistent disturbance rejection, and uncertain systems analysis and synthesis.
