Passivity-based control (PBC) is a well-established technique that has shown to be very
powerful to design robust controllers for physical systems described by Euler–Lagrange (EL) …

Nonlinear and Adaptive Control with Applications provides a detailed treatment of the
design of robust adaptive controllers for nonlinear systems with uncertainties. The authors …

Energy is one of the fundamental concepts in science and engineering practice, where it is
common to view dynamical systems as energy-transformation devices. This perspective is …

A new method to design asymptotically stabilizing and adaptive control laws for nonlinear
systems is presented. The method relies upon the notions of system immersion and manifold …

Interconnection and dam** assignment passivitybased control is a technique that
regulates the behavior of nonlinear systems assigning a desired (portcontrolled …

The implementation of multistep direct model predictive control (MPC) for dc-dc boost
converters overcomes the well-known issue of nonminimum phase behavior. However, it …

This authoritative treatment covers theory, optimal estimation and a range of practical
applications. The first book on the subject, and written by leading researchers, this clear and …

We apply the energy-sha** controller design technique to the speed regulation of
permanent magnet synchronous motors. To illustrate different design choices, two …

Droop technique is extensively adopted in dc microgrids, for both islanded and grid-
connected modes of operation. However, voltage regulation and proper current sharing are …

A novel approach for the solution of nonlinear adaptive control problems is proposed. This
approach does not rely on structural assumptions on the system to be controlled nor on …
