The author attempts to portray the ideas and general principles of the theory of materials
within the framework of phenomenological continuum mechanics. It is a well-written rigorous …

This paper investigates the problem of output feedback robust ℋ∞ control for a class of
nonlinear spatially distributed systems described by first-order hyperbolic partial differential …

This year is the 50th anniversary of Otto J. Smith's 1959 publication of a control design idea
commonly referred as the Smith predictor for the compensation of actuator delays. Actuator …

We consider a problem of boundary feedback stabilization of first-order hyperbolic partial
differential equations (PDEs). These equations serve as a model for physical phenomena …

This monograph provides insight and fundamental understanding into the feedback control
of nonlinear and hybrid process systems. It presents state-of-the-art methods for the …

This paper presents a boundary control formulation for distributed parameter systems
described by partial differential equations (PDEs) and whose output is given by a spatial …

This article proposes a rigorous and practical methodology for the derivation of accurate
finite-dimensional approximations and the synthesis of non-linear output feedback …

This article proposes a methodology for the synthesis of nonlinear robust feedback
controllers for diffusion–convection–reaction processes with time-varying uncertain …
