The field of adaptive dynamic programming with diverse applications in control engineering
has undergone rapid progress over the past few years. A new theory called “Robust …

An advantage of a high-order fully-actuated (HOFA) system is that there exists a controller
such that a constant linear closed-loop system with an arbitrarily assignable eigenstructure …

The technology of hydrodynamic modeling and marine craft motion control systems has
progressed greatly in recent years. This timely survey includes the latest tools for analysis …

This paper reviews recent developments in learning-based adaptive optimal output
regulation that aims to solve the problem of adaptive and optimal asymptotic tracking with …

(I. la) m= f (x)+[gi (x) ui i= I (1. lb) y= h (x) and we want to examine to what extent the behavior
of such a system could be made" linear" under the effect of an appropriate feedback control …

Constructive Nonlinear Control presents a broad repertoire of constructive nonlinear
designs not available in other works by widening the class of systems and design tools …

We introduce a concept of input-to-output practical stability (IOpS) which is a natural
generalization of input-to-state stability proposed by Sontag. It allows us to establish two …

In this paper, we derive conditions under which a nonlinear system can be rendered passive
via smooth state feedback and we show that, as in the case linear systems, this is possible if …

This paper studies the adaptive and optimal output-feedback problem for continuous-time
uncertain systems with nonlinear dynamic uncertainties. Data-driven output-feedback …

In the early days of nonlinear control theory most of the stability, optimality and uncertainty
concepts were descriptive rather than constructive. This survey describes their …
