Advances and Applications in Nonlinear Control Systems

The book reports on the latest advances and applications of nonlinear
control systems.  It consists of 30
contributed chapters by subject experts who are specialized in the various
topics addressed in this book. The special chapters have been brought out in
the broad areas of nonlinear control systems such  as robotics, nonlinear circuits, power
systems, memristors, underwater vehicles, chemical processes, observer design,
output regulation, backstepping control, sliding mode control, time-delayed
control, variables structure control, robust adaptive control, fuzzy logic
control, chaos, hyperchaos, jerk systems, hyperjerk systems, chaos control,
chaos synchronization, etc. Special importance was given to chapters offering
practical solutions, modeling and novel controlmethods for the recent research
problems in nonlinear control systems.

This book will serve as a reference book for graduate students
and researchers with a basic knowledge of electrical and control systems
engineering. The resulting design procedures on the nonlinear control systems
are emphasized using MATLAB software.
