Contents Recursive design in this book is composed of some simple basic steps. They are
referred to as “backstep** designs” because they step back toward the control input …

Between the well-studied areas of discontinuous control [1],[2] on the one hand and
sampled data control [3] on the other lies the largely unexplored area of logic-based …

A comprehensive introduction to hybrid control systems and design Hybrid control systems
exhibit both discrete changes, or jumps, and continuous changes, or flow. An example of a …

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 …

It is shown that switching among stable linear systems results in a stable system provided
that switching is" slow-on-the-average". In particular, it is proved that exponential stability is …

This paper describes a simple" high-level" controller called a" supervisor" which is capable
of switching into feedback with a SISO process, a sequence of linear positioning or set-point …

Adaptive control evolved over the years to become an accepted subject taught in many
schools as an advanced control course. A good understanding of adaptive control involves a …

Intelligent control may be viewed as the ability of a controller to operate in multiple
environments by recognizing which environment is currently in existence and servicing it …

Adaptive control is a control methodology capable of dealing with uncertain systems to
ensure desired control performance. This paper provides an overview of some fundamental …

Adaptive Control (second edition) shows how a desired level of system performance can be
maintained automatically and in real time, even when process or disturbance parameters …
