The convergence of sensing, computing, communication and control elements drives the
traditional point-to-point control systems towards networked control systems. Sampled-data …

A cyber-physical system (CPS) is the integration of a physical system into the real world and
control applications in a computing system, interacting through a communications network …

This paper presents a tutorial-style review on the recent results about the disturbance
observer (DOB) in view of robust stabilization and recovery of the nominal performance. The …

This book presents an overview of the different errors-in-variables (EIV) methods that can be
used for system identification. Readers will explore the properties of an EIV problem. Such …

Among the multitude of modern control methods, model predictive control (MPC) is one of
the most successful–. As noted in “Summary,” this success is largely due to the ability of …

Models for deterministic continuous-time nonlinear systems typically take the form of
ordinary differential equations. To utilize these models in practice invariably requires …

This article proposes a new hybrid swarm intelligence optimization algorithm called
monarch butterfly optimization (MBO) algorithm with cuckoo search (CS) algorithm, named …

For non‐linear control, it is important to secure a generally structured controller that
promises wide application and desirable performance. This study deals with the problem of …

This article presents a novel degradation modeling and prognostic method for a class of
closed-loop feedback systems with degrading actuators. Toward this end, we first present a …

DC/DC boost converters are known for presenting highly nonlinear and nonminimum phase
properties. This paper combines a predesigned cascade controller and nested reduced …
