An in-depth examination of intelligent approaches to increasing the accuracy of a variety of system components. Utilizing a unified, adaptive, inverse approach, the book offers electrical, mechanical, chemical, aeronautical and computer engineers methods for controlling many of the "hard" nonlinearities of frequently-employed control systems such as dead-zone, backlash and hysteresis. Discusses such nonlinearities at both the input and output points of a linear part and within both continuous time designs and discrete time designs.
