l\lany systems encountered in practice involve a coupling between contin uous dynamics
and discrete events. Systems in which these two kinds of dynamics coexist and interact are …

For at least fifty years, the inverted pendulum has been the most popular benchmark, among
others, in nonlinear control theory. The fundamental focus of this work is to enhance the …

Furuta′ s pendulum has been an excellent benchmark for the automatic control community
in the last years, providing, among others, a better understanding of model‐based Nonlinear …

This paper presents a coupled sliding-mode control (SMC) of inverted-pendulum systems.
An SMC law is designed to force a coupled sliding surface (which consists of sliding …

An output feedback controller is proposed for stabilization of the inverted pendulum on a cart
in the presence of uncertainties. The output feedback controller has a multi-time-scale …

For at least fifty years, the inverted pendulum has been the most popular benchmark, among
others, for teaching and researches in control theory and robotics. This paper presents the …

This book is devoted to new methods of control for complex dynamical systems and deals
with nonlinear control systems having several degrees of freedom, subjected to unknown …

The last two decades have witnessed considerable progress in the study of underactuated
robotic systems (URSs). Control Design and Analysis for Underactuated Robotic Systems …

In this article, we revisit the classical problem of attitude stabilisation for a rigid spacecraft
with external disturbances. A global set stabilisation method using finite-time control …

The performance of attitude stabilization control algorithms for rigid spacecraft can be limited
by disturbances. In this paper, the global finite-time attitude stabilization problem with …
