Synopsis

The book Control of Nonlinear Systems–Stability and Performance fills a crucial gap in the field of nonlinear control systems by providing a comprehensive yet accessible treatment of the subject. Unlike many existing texts that are either too complex for beginners or omit essential topics, this book strikes the right balance of mathematical rigor and practicality.

The main objective of the book is to simplify and unify the existing techniques for designing and analyzing control systems for nonlinear systems. It aims to alleviate confusion and difficulty in understanding these methods, making it an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in the field.

By presenting the material in a tutorial manner, the book enhances the reader's understanding of the design and analysis of a wide range of control methods for nonlinear systems. The emphasis on stability and performance highlights the practical relevance of the concepts discussed in the book.

Overall, Control of Nonlinear Systems–Stability and Performance is a valuable contribution to the field of nonlinear control systems. Its emphasis on practical applications and its accessible presentation make it an indispensable resource for engineers seeking to enhance their knowledge and skills in this important area of control theory.
