Synopsis

The chapters of this book have been presented at the 1st Workshop of the Nonlinear Control Network*, which was held in Ghent, March 15,16, 1999. These contributions give an overview of some of the current and emerging trends in nonlinear systems and control theory. As editors of this book we would very much like to thank the speakers at this workshop for their sti- lating presentations and for their efforts to bring this material to its current form, which we are sure will provide stimulating reading as well.

About this title

Synopsis

These papers were presented at the first EC-TMR Nonlinear Control Network Workshop on Stability and Stabilization of Nonlinear Systems, that took place in March 1999 in Ghent, Belgium. The TMR programme offers an opportunity for members of the academic community to expand their knowledge, share their experience and identify and discuss strategic issues in aspects of nonlinear control engineering. The aim is to create a resource centre of available expertise and research interests. This reference volume presents research directions, including: stability analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems and converse Lyapunov theorems; stabilization and regulation of nonlinear dynamical control systems; and control of physical systems using physics-based Lyapunov functions and passivity, as well as bifurcation analysis and optimal control. This collection of peer-reviewed papers provides a comprehensive overview of this field of research for graduate students and researchers in engineering and applied mathematics.
