Overview

The development of advanced techniques for the analysis and design of complex and uncertain control systems has prompted interest in the control engineering community. These developments have occurred within the areas of "Robust Control" and "Hybrid Systems". At present, there are no systematic tools for the analysis and design apart from advanced computer tools and software environments. Parallel development of new theories is essential. The author presents a novel approach for dealing with systematic control design for classes of nonlinear systems and develops the underlying principles.

From The Critics

Systems represented in a piecewise linear (PL) form are studied in an attempt to develop systematic stabilization techniques The author argues that combining these systems with PL Lyapunov functions can provide a framework for systematic design that deals usefully with uncertainties and nonlinearities in the presence of state and control constraints. Chapters look at robust stabilization of orthogonal PL systems, stabilization of conic PL systems, the ray-gridding approach for constrained stabilization, PL optimal control, and future research directions.
