Feedback and control theory are important ideas that should form part of the education of a
physicist but rarely do. This tutorial essay aims to give enough of the formal elements of …

This article is an historical overview of control theory applied to robotic manipulators, with an
emphasis on the early fundamental theoretical foundations of robot control. It discusses …

The properties of positively invariant sets are involved in many different problems in control
theory, such as constrained control, robustness analysis, synthesis and optimization. In this …

This paper presents the development of a new course in the control curriculum dealing with
the control of systems subject to parametric uncertainty. This branch of Robust Control has …

This paper gives an overview of robustness in Model Predictive Control (MPC). After
reviewing the basic concepts of MPC, we survey the uncertainty descriptions considered in …

Microgrids are a new concept for future energy distribution systems that enable renewable
energy integration and improved energy management capability. Microgrids consist of …

At publication, The Control Handbook immediately became the definitive resource that
engineers working with modern control systems required. Among its many accolades, that …

Successfully classroom-tested at the graduate level, Linear Control Theory: Structure,
Robustness, and Optimization covers three major areas of control engineering (PID control …

In this paper we take a new approach to the problem of peak‐to‐peak gain minimization (the
L1 or induced L∞ problem). This is done in an effort to circumvent the complexity problems …

This paper investigates the peak-to-peak filtering problem for a class of networked nonlinear
dc motor systems with quantization. The nonlinear dc motor system is modeled by a Takagi …
