description:
Some of the most common
dynamic phenomena that arise in engineering practice—actuator and sensor
delays—fall outside the scope of standard finite-dimensional system theory. The
first attempt at infinite-dimensional feedback design in the field of control
systems, the Smith predictor, has remained limited to linear finite-dimensional
plants over the last five decades. Shedding light on new opportunities in
predictor feedback, this book significantly broadens the set of techniques
available to a mathematician or engineer working on delay systems.
The book is a collection
of tools and techniques that make predictor feedback ideas applicable to
nonlinear systems, systems modeled by PDEs, systems with highly uncertain or
completely unknown input/output delays, and systems whose actuator or sensor
dynamics are modeled by more general hyperbolic or parabolic PDEs, rather than
by pure delay.
Specific features and
topics include:
· A construction of
explicit Lyapunov functionals, which can be used in control design or stability
analysis, leading to a resolution of several long-standing problems in
predictor feedback.
· A detailed treatment of
individual classes of problems—nonlinear ODEs, parabolic PDEs, first-order
hyperbolic PDEs, second-order hyperbolic PDEs, known time-varying delays,
unknown constant delays—will help the reader master the techniques presented.
· Numerous examples ease a
student new to delay systems into the topic.
· Minimal prerequisites:
the basics of function spaces and Lyapunov theory for ODEs.
· The basics of Poincaré
and Agmon inequalities, Lyapunov input-to-state stability, parameter projection
for adaptive control, and Bessell functions are summarized in appendices for
the reader’s convenience.
Delay
Compensation for Nonlinear, Adaptive, and PDE Systems is an excellent
reference for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in mathematics,
systems control, as well as chemical, mechanical, electrical, computer,
aerospace, and civil/structural engineering. Parts of the book may be used in
graduate courses on general distributed parameter systems, linear delay
systems, PDEs, nonlinear control, state estimator and observers, adaptive control,
robust control, or linear time-varying systems.
Written
for: graduate students, researchers, and professionals in mathematics, systems
control, as well as chemical, mechanical, electrical, computer, aerospace, and
civil/structural engineering
