From Wiley's backcover:
An introduction to the new design
for nonlinear control systems -- BACKSTEPPING -- written by its own architects.
This innovative book breaks new ground
in nonlinear and adaptive control design for systems with uncertainties.
Introducing the recursive backstepping methodology,
it shows -- for the first time -- how uncertain systems with severe
nonlinearities can be successfully controlled with this new powerful design
tool.
Communicative and accessible at a level
not usually present in research texts, "Nonlinear and Adaptive Control
Design" can be used as either a stand-alone or a supplemental text in
courses on nonlinear or adaptive control, as well as in control research and
applications. It eases the reader into the subject matter, assuming only
standard undergraduate knowledge of control theory, and provides a pedagogical
presentation of the material, most of which is completely new and not available
in other textbooks.
